[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web Staff Client Translation Mystery

[Linda Jansova]

Hi,

I have had a look at it and reported my findings at Launchpad (see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1629078). I'm pasting them 
here just in case anybody has an idea how to fix it (we test web client 
for Evergreen 2.10.7):

"I have extracted a couple of strings from web_staff_translation2.jpg 
and have checked the translation files at Launchpad to see where these 
are included.

It seems that those strings that are included in the "webstaff" 
translation file are correctly translated in the interface. Example: 
"Telefonní číslo přes den" ("Day Phone" in English).

However, those which are not included in the "webstaff" translation file 
are not translated in the web client interface. Examples: "Internet 
Access Level" (contained in the "fm-idl.dtd" translation file) or 
"Privilege Expiration Date" (also contained in the "fm-idl.dtd" 
translation file).

Could that be the reason why some strings fail to show up as translated? 
And if so, how could it be fixed?"

In other words, the question seems to be the following:

Does the web client know where to look for the appropriate translations?

Thanks!

Linda
