RE: [Koha-devel] Serials (next translation questions...)

[Anthony Youngman]

Sounds like the word you want is "issue", as in "the November issue of the 
magazine".

And we would just say "a missing issue" or "this issue is missing" - I don't 
think there's a particular English word for it.

Cheers,
Wol

Hi,

In french, for a given subscription (=abonnement), you wait for 
effective items. Repeated items are called "bulletins" (= explains the 
word "bulletinage" -see previous post-)
What word should we use in english ? Items is very poor, as it's used 
for something else.
In french, "numéro" is a synonym for "bulletin", and can be translated 
by "number". I think number is poor in english too.

still in french, a "bulletin" that is late and will never arrive is 
called "lacune". I don't know the exact translation, but is "missing" OK ?
A "bulletin" that is late will be marked "late". Is this word correct ?
A "bulletin" that should arrive soon is marked "waited" (= ie : is 
planned, but not yet late). Is it correct ?

I think it's all for today (a very raining one in Marseille...)
