SCO OPAC

We believe this term should be standardized across Koha. "Self-checkout" (with a hyphen) is strongly indicated as the correct spelling according to major online dictionaries and general search results.

While we haven't exhaustively checked every English language variant (GB, US, AU, etc.), key dictionaries like Collins, Merriam-Webster, and Oxford consistently define "self-" as a prefix that requires a hyphen in this context.

Standardizing on "Self-checkout" would improve consistency within the Koha interface and align it with widely accepted English usage, making it clearer and more professional for all users.

Module name

I don't know of all the places that should be checked. The change appears to have been applied to the system preferences and to the Opac self-checkout page at /cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl.

However the name of the module is the same. Image attached. Should this be changed too?
