Description John Fawcett 2020-12-13 05:04:33 UTC
In these files:
/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/it-IT/includes/member-main-address-style.inc
/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/it-IT/includes/member-alt-address-style.inc

the Italian translation given for State is "Stato", but that is only going to be useful for Italian speakers living in a country divided into states (e.g. US, Germany).

In Italy the geographical division used in mailing addresses after city is "province". Unless there are objections, I would just change it to the Italian translation of Province (Provincia). If there are useful cases for maintaining  State, then I would favour as a second option changing to "State or Province" ("Stato o Provincia").

The change for both files is
- [% END %] Stato: </label>
+ [% END %] Provincia: </label>

Hi John, I suggest to bring this up on the koha-translate mailing list instead. This is were translation matters are discussed - you will probably not reach the Italian translators via bugzilla. Only very few people (like the QA manager) check on the newly reported bugs.

Closing this as this is more appropriate to translate mailing list and if modification agreed, it can be done directly in .po files on translate site
