Description Katrin Fischer 2025-08-18 16:33:02 UTC
In 24.11.05 the itemtype translations work well for the detail page in the OPAC, but in the staff interface the itemtype always shows the default description.

The description shows correctly in other parts of Koha, so this appears to be related to the API use maybe?

Where? Looks ok for me on main on the detail page: https://snipboard.io/oOjtR0.jpg

That's interesting, it doesn't work for us in 24.11.08.
We confirmed it on different computers, so I think it's not the browser settings or similar. 
Something is a little odd, because I first noticed it only displaying English, when I had German selected. 
Later, when I retestd to file this bug, the descriptoins remained in German, no matter what I picked, the translation was not pulled (German being the description from the itemtypes table).
