Many letters have limited number of labels to work with - and it is extremely important for multilingual environments to have the ability to add as many fields as needed, that can have a translation.
for instance - patron notifications, beginning from curtesy letters, that currently don't have a field which has the reason for returning: recalled item? expiry date of the library card? other reason?
and so the patron doesn't know why he is getting the letter. and if the reason is that the maximum period of automatic renewal has ended, we need to have the possibility to tell him that he can renew the items and doesn't have to return them....
it requires multiple "ifs"...and there are no labels for bilingual system to support this....
