In the french translation, we have replaced "disponible" (=available) by "en rayon" (on shelves), as patrons find "disponible" confusing when a book is available but can't be issued + some other "strange" cases. The "en rayon" is really clear we think : it doesn't mean anything on the "issuability" of the item, it just means the book is on the library ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc NOUVEAU TELEPHONE : 04 91 81 35 08 _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
