Every now and then I get a request to change the label of one or more fields in the patron self registration form. This could be because a field has been re-purposed, or because local usage differs from the translation. I imagine we could have a map from the database column names, to the labels that are shown to the patrons: address: Department phone: Internal phone number
I think we are getting more and more reports like this for making things "renameable". The issue is always multi-language instances. Could be reusing the itemtype translation system an option?
