[Evergreen-general] Untranslated column headers in the staff client - how to proceed?

[Linda Jansová]

Dear all,

We have begun working with the 3.12 version which is - when it comes to 
correctly displaying Czech - significantly better than the previous 
version - of course a big thank you goes out to everyone who has helped 
along the way :-)!

One of the so far unresolved issues we would like to start working on 
now are the column headers. These often remain untranslated as we have 
reported here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2042915

There is also a spreadsheet with a couple of examples:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13_AwTRNLobGIgA6bFqw0pC3tWXq8D8i13CshCbOb1u4/edit?usp=sharing

It seems that if the string (and, consequently, its translation) is not 
present in POEditor and can only be found on Launchpad and in fm_IDL.xml 
and in translation files in GIT, the staff client interface shows the 
English string instead of the Czech one.

So I was just wondering how we could proceed, e.g. should we try to 
compile a comprehensive list of all missing translations from the column 
headers? And if so, which other pieces of information would be useful to 
add, e.g., would a spreadsheet like the one mentioned above be a good 
starting point?

In some cases when the string is not very unique (actually, it is a 
rather common situation to come across widely used strings; the unique 
ones appear less frequently), the GIT links might not be very useful as 
the string would be found in many more places (and, consequently, files) 
than just say in a single column header.

Perhaps trying to locate relevant ".component.html" files with missing 
i18n-label attributes (using 
https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=+%3Ceg-grid-column 
or a similar approach) would be a better choice? (But maybe this 
wouldn't work in practice as the example strings from the spreadsheet 
currently indicate no occurrences in the .component.html files.)

Or would there be an entirely different way to tackle it?

Thank you very much for sharing your views!
