Created attachment 17345 [details] N notation on acq searches See the screenshot, above the basket number it now says N° ... this seems like a strange notation to me? Shouldn't it be # if we just want a small notation?
It is a french notation (we never use #, but use N° instead). Maybe this table was made by a french developper... So if N° is strange in english, we should replace it by #. French ppl will translate it as N°. M. Saby
I think # could be a bit confusing to translators. I found a discussion about this and # seems also to be more American English: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=264328&page=3 I will propose a patch changing the N° to No. instead.
There are some # on other pages. Should we replace them by "No" too? Mathieu
Created attachment 17416 [details] [review] Bug 10023: Change degree notation for number to No. This patch changes N<little circle> to No. in three templates. To test: 1) Search for a vendor with visible baskets. Check that the first column of the basket table in the is now labelled No. 2) Print a PDF order in acquisitons with layout2pages. 3) Print a PDF oder in acquisitons with layout3pages. Check both generated PDFs for the correct syntax. Note: you need to switch the system preference OrderPdfFormat in order to test 2) and 3). The 2 possible settings are: pdfformat::layout3pages pdfformat::layout2pages It's not only Koha - git bz doesn't like the degree notation either.

Hm, thinking some more about this, I provided the same patch with #.
Anyway, degree sign should not be used. the ° is for an supperscript "o", which was hard to type with typewriters. If this page is correct, we should replace it by "No." for non-american english : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numero_sign Is understandable for american english ? M. saby

Signed-off-by: Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> I prefer "No." over "#" and my survey of the templates shows that "No." appears more often. Looks like something to add to our style guide.
