[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.2 Preparing for XUL client removal / browser client blockers

Fri May 18 04:21:36 EDT 2018

Hi,

for the Czech Evergreen community the browser client blockers are some
parts of the web staff client, that are shown as "untranslated". For
example untranslated  field labels on patron edit/registration screen
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1770973>, profile permission
groups, statuses and copy locations
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1770959>,  overriding checkout
failure messages <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1770983>  or patron
alert blocks. <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1770981>

Since we have started to test the web staff client localization great
progress has been made and it is nice to see every promising change. Many
thanks to all who have contributed to it.  :-)

However, issues mentioned above are critical for us, especially for
circulating staff who must quickly respond to various difficult situations
in contact with patrons. This is a real obstacle to using a web client in
production in Czech libraries. And the list does not end there.

Our insight into localization issues is very limited, but i f we can help,
we will do our best - we really  look forward to enjoying with the other
Evergreen community all excellent new features available in web client like
email receipts, batch editing of patron records, notice columns in Items
out grid etc. ;-)

Eva
