I apologize to translators. I had proclaimed string freeze, but some strings were still untranslated. In fact, they were not included in po files, which they are now. Po files are all updated on Pootle. Very few changes were added though so you you donot have much work and if you can complete by next Thursday, official release will provide full translations. Thank you for your patience and your work, translators. _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
