Description Katrin Fischer 2012-06-28 12:44:07 UTC
The overdue with fines report contains email links with a subject line:
Overdue: <title>

The "Overdue" is not translatable.

Comment 2 Owen Leonard 2012-08-07 20:18:02 UTC
I wonder if these links are ever used? 

Would be possible to instead generate a one-time notice?
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2012-08-07 20:32:56 UTC
Hi Owen, 

an option so send a real mail from there using a notice template would certainly be much better!
Comment 4 Gaetan Boisson 2012-08-08 07:17:19 UTC
They are used in at least one library i know of.
I think it makes sense to have this functionnality in a report that lists overdues. Even though i agree most libraries will choose to automate sending overdue notices. Some are small enough and would rather take care of it 100% manually, other might want to be able to send another notice, manually in some cases.
Comment 5 Gaetan Boisson 2012-08-08 07:18:39 UTC
Actually there used to be, i've seen it in libraries using an older version, a 'MANUAL_ODUE' notice, which would be sent from here.
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2012-08-08 07:36:10 UTC
Hi Gaetan,

yes, and we have been trying to make it work in the past - see bug 4990.
Seems it was working in 2.2, then it got reintegrated in 3.0.x, while development was already done for 3.2. There never was a working patch for 3.2 (master back then), so the the feature got lost again after updating from 3.0.x.
Comment 7 Katrin Fischer 2015-06-06 22:51:22 UTC
This is still valid.

I think generating manual overdue emails could maybe be dealt with on bug 4990 and only fix the wrong string here for now.

Bug 8330: Overdue email link contains untranslatable 'Overdue:'

The translation scripts don't pick up text from href attributes,
which is what we want, with a small exception for this script.

Patch uses a TT trick to make the Overdue: in the subject
of the mailto: link translatable.

Regression test:
- Make sure you have an overdue item
- Go to Circulation > Overdues
- Verify the [email] link works and a subject
  with 'Overdue: <title>' is generated
- Apply patch and repeat steps

Bonus: Verify the branch name now shows instead of
       the branchcode in the table

To test translatability:
- cd misc/translator
- perl translate update de-DE
- Open file po/de-DE-staff-prog.po
- Search for Overdue:
- Translate string, remove 'fuzzy' marker
- perl translate install de-DE
- Test again, subject should now be translated

Pushed to 3.20.x will be in 3.20.2
