Hi Chloe, your patch works for me and fixes what the bug reporter described.
Thank you very much. This is really helpful.
I think that this change either goes too far or doesn't go far enough. I don't see the need for this change. I think it's clear in the context of patron records what the word means. I also don't think this kind of global terminology change should be made on the basis of one suggestion. I think we need to get more opinions. If consensus is reached, then the change should be made in a more comprehensive way. The use of the word "expire" in reference to patron accounts is broader than just labels. There are instances throughout the interface where descriptions use variations: "You can decide if this patron category is blocked from performing actions in the OPAC if their card is expired" "If your patron cards expire (based on your patron category settings)..." "[ patron name ]'s account has expired..." "...you cannot place holds because your library card has expired..." Translators: Is there an internationalization issue here? In Koha's English translation the term "expire" can refer to a patron account, a hold, a list invitation, a news item, a self-checkout session, and a subscription.
I think in German Ablauf/ablaufen etc. would work for all of those. Could 'Renewal due' in English be misunderstood as the date for renewing your items? We also use Renewal in a lot of contexts, I can think of issues, subscriptions and patron accounts.
Question (as a non native speaker): What is the main reason to change 'Expiration date:'?
Created attachment 90529 [details] [review] Bug 15558: [alternate] Add classes to allow for changing expiration date wording This patch adds classes to display of 'Expiration date' so users can reword via JS if the current phrasing does not work for them.
I think that even though it is not visible in the interface, using "member" instead of "patron" in this patch is contrary to terminology guidelines. I think this patch also misses an instance in the patron edit form: It doesn't add the new class to the label in the case that expiration date is mandatory.
