--- Comment #157 from Heather <[email protected]> --- Hi! I think the fact that the term "train" is a cognate in English and French, two widely used languages worldwide, is a strong argument in its favor. Although https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Documentation_-_Content_Development_Guide states, "Language - US English (Simplified)," the word "train" is very common. Moreover, a "truck train" is a commonly understood term for a bunch of trailers attached to one cab--and a preservation "train" is a similar thing, with a bunch of items needing preservation treatments all going off together! Yes--"batch" is more commonly used in US English preservation work. And, yes, we are preferring US English in the Koha English interface (e.g., the button says "Cataloging" not "Cataloguing"), but, to me, that doesn't mean that one necessarily needs to select a more common term in a non-automated workflow when automating the workflow. I think the Preservation Module in Koha will be automating workflows in A LOT of libraries that have not had the opportunity to incorporate automated preservation workflows into their ILS, and so it will be easy to adapt to saying, e.g., "This batch that we used to represent on a spreadsheet will be represented in a Koha Train." (We all call "developments" "bugs" and got used to that, too!) (And am I the only one hearing the song, "C'mon N' Ride It (The Train)" every time I think about this bug? "It's the choo choo! It's the choo choo!!") A Koha Train. Makes sense to me! But I also would happily stand aside on the issue if others feel strongly about changing the language to "batch"--it's not a big deal for me. --USian Cataloger Who Also Does Preservation, h2:) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
