Description Jessie Zairo 2017-11-01 22:33:12 UTC
Bug 17762 adds the ability to translate notices. The new system preference for translatenotices allows staff members to set a preferred language in the user account, which controls which template will be used when generating notices.

It would be great to allow patrons to select their preferred language in the OPAC Personal Details page on opac-memberentry.pl.

The ability to translate the notices is a great new feature. However, to have it work well staff is placed in a position of asking patrons their preferred language. If that could be added to the patron record on the opac-memberentry.pl page then the patrons would be empowered to manage that themselves. 

We have patrons use the online form to register for a card so that would be the best point of contact for that choice.
