[Xerte-dev] Re: Text & Graphics page language question

[Kemp Johnathan]

If the transcript / further info / copyright text is optional, would it
make sense to include the button for it in the language anyway, so that you
don't get a situation in which the author adds the transcript text to the
page but omits to give the button a label?

Kind regards

Johnathan
