Configure Multi-Lingual Translation of Primo availability display

• Article Type: General
• Product: Primo

Desired Outcome Goal:
To configure the multi-lingual translation of the availability display in the Primo Front End.
No Primo code table exists to translate the $$1 value in the display/availability or enrichment/avialability into multiple languages. Concatenating the Library ($$L) and Location ($$1) values allows the availabilty statement to be translated into multiple languages when user change the Primo Interface language in the Primo Front End.

6. Click "Load" to populate the Libraries table on the Edit Institution page.
