    I vote "auto-renewal." It is used consistently in this article, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_renewal_clause I discussed this with a few colleagues and they agree that "auto-renewal" would be the most appropriate. I had a look at some of the questions submitted by our clients and "auto-renewal" seems to be the most commonly used phrase. I'm leaning towards auto-renewal, but grammar is terrible!. Otherwise, spell out in full as 'automatic renewal'. Does auto-renewal create any problems with translation?

What we pick doesn't matter so much as consistency. Less different spellings = less strings to translate and you can 'recognize' it as being the same thing easier. Created attachment 104597 [details] [review] Bug 24963: Terminology: Use "auto-renewal" instead of alternatives This patch updates terminology in the templates so that "auto-renewal" is used instead of "auto renewal" or "autorenewal." To test, apply the patch and set the 'AllowPatronToControlAutorenewal' preference to "allow patrons." - Log in to the OPAC and view the "your account" page. - At the top of the "Checked out" tab you should see controls for turning auto-renewals on and off. The labels should be correct. - Turn off auto-renewals for this patron. - In the staff interface, view the detail page for the patron you updated in the previous step. - In right-hand column of information about the patron you should see "Auto-renewal: Patron has opted out." - Add "&print=brief" to the page URL. Check that auto-renewal information displays correctly on this brief view as well. - Go to Administration -> System preferences. - Under the "Circulation" tab, check that the description of the OPACFineNoRenewalsBlockAutoRenew preference refers to "auto-renewal." - Under the "Patrons" tab, check the description of the AllowPatronToControlAutorenewal refers to "auto-renewal."
