Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 01:27:57 UTC


---- Reported by katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de 2010-05-14 08:20:52 ----

The files under .../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/[de-DE]/js and /koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/de-DE/j get not translated during translation process.

An example for intranet with error messages is member.js

I tried to make the error message for mandatory fields when adding a new borrower translatable. When it didn't work I looked at the other files and messages and noticed that they were not translated although formatted correctly for translation.

Perhaps error messages should be handled in the template, as basket.js in opac does.

Indeed. As far as I know, there is a plan to put .js files outside template directories in order to spare disk space. But this is not the only reason. If Koha separates code from templates for Perl script, it should also do it for JavaScript. Now JS mixes program en UI.

Lots of Javascript has moved out of the templates by now and we don't want to start copying them to the language specific directories again.

Galen pointed out that something like 
https://code.google.com/p/jquery-i18n-properties/ could be a possible solution.
