[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How to translate facet labels in Evergreen 2.1.1?

[Linda Jansova]

Hi Dan,

Thanks a lot for your explanation! We are well aware of the fact that 
the strings don't really travel from one place to the other on their own 
- on the other hand, we do appreciate the possibility to use Launchpad 
for translations (it used to be far more difficult to cooperate on 
translations with downloaded files). Anyway, we look forward to the next 
version with our Czech strings included :-)!

Linda and Vaclav
