Hi all, When preparing our planned Evergreen upgrade, I ran into some serious issues related to localization. E.g., Evergreen is not properly switching into Czech in the Staff client (as Linda pointed out in the Evergreen general mailing list about two weeks ago); some strings that haven't yet been translated in POEditor won't show in the Evergreen Staff client interface even in English (there's a blank space instead); or, in some cases, only certain individual letters (and a blank space) are displayed from translated strings containing non-ASCII characters.
So with the approaching bug squashing week, I am wondering if it would be possible for one of the test servers to have localization on for the Staff client and for the OPAC too. I think it would be very useful if more people could go through the localized interfaces and test the localization problems, e.g., in Spanish or French plus in the Czech localizations (the Czech localization would definitely be suitable for testing, both because it has more non-ASCII characters than other languages and also because almost all new strings have been translated recently). Our Czech Evergreen community is currently working hard to resolve the problems we came across. However, I suppose broader testing would at least reveal if the errors we encountered are general Evergreen bugs to be reported or just errors specific to the data and settings of our catalog, which could shift the localization features of Evergreen a little forward. Thank you very much for considering this suggestion. Eva Mgr.
