Problems that needs to be corrected in Koha concerning translation
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we have collected some problems we have encountered, a in some
parts similar request has also been given by the Turkish team.
If you have not added a name in Opac, then the welcome message gets just
weird, it should give another text when the user name is not present:
"Hello, (Click here if you're not )"
What about "No user name configured" or something?
Opac sometimes has a to small box for longer sentences. For instance
«my personal details» If we wrote "Min personinformasjon" the word would
be cut of at the end. It would only fit when my cutted the «my» at the
start (which we did overall because we found it to be just annoying and
of no real use).

If we add our own currency, Norske kroner, it would only show "Norske
kro": The field is to small for "Norske kroner".

-> All those are not yet translatable, although we have translated all
of both staff and opac and input it to our local test version -- and are
using the latest version we found in git. I also asked for a pot-file,
but since no one told where to get it I made my own from the German file
in git :-P (not he best of solutions, but worked).
Some words/strings are used at multiple places. This is not always wise.
Sometimes this word has different meanings in the different
circumstances and should therefore be separate strings to be really
translatable.

-> Not translatable, and seems to need a real clean up. For Norwegian it
would for instance need to be "Norwegian Bokmål" and "Norwegian Nynorsk"
instead of "Norsk(nb-NO)"
and "(nn-NO)" (where nb-NO means Norwegian Bokmål).
Z39.50 is the right name for this standard, with big Z. This is wrong in
the original English string.
