[Koha-translate] Homonym string help

[Fischer, Katrin]

Hi Caroline,

 

we have the same problems with the German translation. Order, issue, item, subject, cancel, term…

In the past this has mostly been solved by changing the templates to make the string more specific:

 

subject > email subject

cancel > cancel hold

issue > serial issue

…

I am not sure If there is a better solution available at the moment. I think filing a bug report for those problems would be a good start.

Hi all,

I'm a bit stumped in my translations. There is one string that is used in acquisitions and tools/marc_modification_templates, among others. The word in English is "Order". It is used in acquisitions as in "to place an order", or for the "order" itself, but in marc_modification_templates, is is used as "rank". In French, there are two different words for the two different meanings. So it either doesn't make sense in acquisitions or in marc_modification_templates. Is there a way to split the string in two so that one can be used in acquisitions and another in marc_modification_templates, since the meanings are different?

I'm sure French isn't the only language where this happens. What are the solutions?

Thank you!
