Hello,

I've been collaborating for a while with the Spanish translation at Transifex. I know how to translate things that hasn't still been translated but, sometimes, I don't know how can I find a particular text that has been "bad-translated" at Transifex. Attached you can find a screen capture shown an example:

- The tab "Events" has been translated as "Eliminar actividad", wich means something like "Delete Activity".

I've been searching "Eliminar actividad" at Transifex and I can find some instances but not the one I'm looking for. Is there a procedure I can follow to locate at Transifex a particular string, like this one? If there is no such a procedure, can someone help me to locate this string? (This is an "important" one, otherwise I wouldn't care).

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I checked in the latest translations of Transifex for all Spanish variants, and couldn't find the string.
Also tested on the demo site (drupal.demo.civicrm.org) and it was showing "Eventos".

Is it possible that you are using an old translation?

You can get the latest translations here:
https://github.com/civicrm/l10n/tree/master/po (find the po/es/civicrm.mo file and override your l10n/es/civicrm.mo of your civicrm installation)

Although, if you recently updated from an official release, we'd have to check to make sure the release scripts are working correctly (the automation was changed recently).

Another way to double-check the translation files is using the gettext command line tools:

* Install gettext tools (Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt-get install gettext
* msgunfmt l10n/es/civicrm.mo -o /tmp/civicrm.po
* use a text editor on /tmp/civicrm.po to find the string, might provide hints.
