Description paxed 2015-12-02 07:33:13 UTC
msgid "To" is used in the following places:

intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/branchtransfers.tt
 meaning "transfer to this branch"

intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/members-update.tt
 meaning "field was changed to this value"

intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/issues_avg_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/issues_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/reserves_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/borrowers_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/catalogue_stats.tt
 meaning "up to this date"


Three completely different meanings, so translating this is practically impossible for some languages. Translating this as a plain dash (" - ") is good enough for the date ranges, but not for the "transfer to this branch" or "changed to this value" meanings.
Comment 1 Marc Véron 2015-12-02 19:26:56 UTC
Regarding intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/branchtransfers.tt

Line 113:

<li>You cannot transfer items of [% errmsgloo.codeType %] <b>[% errmsgloo.code %]</b> to <b>[% errmsgloo.tbr %]</b></li>

Here it would help to remove the <b> tags. Pootle would then display a string as follows:
You cannot transfer items from %s to %s
Comment 2 Marc Véron 2015-12-02 19:34:52 UTC
For koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/members-update.tt line 97  we could do:

<th>Field</th>
<th>Old value</th>
<th>New value</th>
Comment 3 Marc Véron 2015-12-02 20:14:25 UTC
We have some "To:" as well (meaning the end of a date range):

koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/histsearch.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/invoices.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/lateorders.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/parcels.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/overdue.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/bor_issues_top.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/serials/claims.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/suggestion/suggestion.tt

That would work for me and fix a really annoying translation issue :)
Comment 5 Marc Véron 2015-12-03 21:36:30 UTC
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/branchtransfers.tt
 meaning "transfer to this branch"
-> Fixed in Bug 15301 (with some more streamlining)

intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/members-update.tt
 meaning "field was changed to this value"
-> Fixed in Bug 15300

The remaining files we found seem all to be related to date 
ranges and 'From[:]' and 'To[:]' can be translated as appropriate 
(e.g. in German as 'Von' / 'Bis'):

intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/issues_avg_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/issues_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/reserves_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/borrowers_stats.tt
intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/catalogue_stats.tt
 
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/histsearch.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/invoices.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/lateorders.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/parcels.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/overdue.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/reports/bor_issues_top.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/serials/claims.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/suggestion/suggestion.tt
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2016-08-14 19:11:41 UTC
Looking at Mark's last comment, this appears to be fixed.
