Hey all!
I’m trying to do some cleaning up on our variable handling in translations, and we have a bunch of languages with issues. Here’s the list:
| Language | File |
| Arabic (ar) | portal |
| Danish (da) | portal |
| German (de) | portal |
| Swiss German (de-CH) | ghost |
| Swiss German (de-CH) | portal |
| Croatian (hr) | portal |
| Hungarian (hu) | comments |
| Hungarian (hu) | ghost |
| Hungarian (hu) | portal |
| Icelandic (is) | portal |
| Italian (it) | portal |
| Japanese (ja) | ghost |
| Lithuanian (lt) | portal |
| Latvian (lv) | portal |
| Norwegian Nynorsk (nn) | portal |
| Portuguese (pt) | comments |
| Sinhala (si) | portal |
| Slovak (sk) | ghost |
| Albanian (sq) | ghost |
| Albanian (sq) | portal |
| Thai (th) | portal |
If your language is on the list, it has at least one translation where the variables are wrong, which means you’re getting an incorrect translation, English, or an ‘undefined’ or missing text somewhere. There might be a typo in the variable name, or the variable name might have gotten accidentally translated, or left out, or in the case of de-CH, the translator actually added variables that don’t exist for that string.
Going forward, we’re going to block new merges with these problems, but I need your help cleaning up the old stuff. If you’re a native speaker of one of these languages, can you put in a PR to fix it?
Here’s a tutorial that walks through how to do it:
If you’re trying to help but stuck, please let me know, and I’ll be glad to walk you through it!
In a few cases, the translator may have chosen to omit an expected variable because the translation was much too long for where it was going to appear (i.e. on a button), and so a shortened form was deliberately chosen. Please let me know if you think that’s the case in your language for a specific string, and I’ll take it off my list. But most of these just look like errors.
Here’s the full list of problems, with specific line numbers:
