Item policy translations
In Alma the Institutions have no possibility to add the translations for the policies. In multilingual consortia environments the only possibilities are to display in Discovery the policy description in English or to add all description translations in the same field. Neither these solutions are user friendly.
The translations should be distributed from the Network.

While there is an option for translation in the Alma of the NZ, the translated text does _not_ show up in Primo VE of the NZ, either.

Fulfillment configurations are centralized and managed by the Network in our consortium.
In the NZ Alma configurations > Fulfillment > Advanced policy configurations > switch for example to Policy Type: “Due Date”. There is the globe option where you can add the translations, but these cannot be distributed or added manually in the IZs. Please add the ability to support a multiple languages feature for the distribute mechanism. -
In my opinion this should be handled as a bug fix, not a feature request.
