48 >Previously overdue notices exclusively used the default language, but bug 26420 changed this to the opposite - to exclusively use the language chosen by the patron.
50 >However, if there is no translation for the overdue notice for the language chosen by the patron then no message is sent.
52 >This fixes this so that if there is no translation of the overdue notice for the language chosen by the patron, then the default language notice is used.
