Hi everybody,

I am currently working on translation and i spotted two types of problems.

The first one is the translation isn't done in the template file.
Example : Adress.tpl (l.33) :

Quote

{$title}

shouldn't it be translated like this :

Quote

{ts}{$title}{/ts}

The second one is the function translate is not used on the key and the word is not translated.
Example : UpdateConfigBackend.php (l.63) :

Quote

$this->addElement('submit', $this->getButtonName('next', 'cleanup'), 'Cleanup Caches', array('class' => 'form-submit', 'id' => 'cleanup-cache'));

Shouldn't it be translated like this :

Quote

$this->addElement('submit', $this->getButtonName('next', 'cleanup'), ts('Cleanup Caches'), array('class' => 'form-submit', 'id' => 'cleanup-cache'));

Do you think this is a good way to do ?

Thank you in advance !

Hi,

ts functions are meant for static texts, so ts("whatever") makes sense ts($avariable) doesn't (in 99% of the cases)

in your example, the $title is likely a dynamic content written by the user for a specific entity, it wouldn't make sense to try to see if it exist a translation of this user entered content in the list of static label pre-defined.

For the add element. it seems a miss indeed. can you confirm by using a non us version that the text isn't translated?

Hi,

I use a fr_FR version of CiviCRM and I confirm the "Cleanup Caches" button isn't translated.

In my case, $title is used for the accordion header of Address.tpl (New Individual in CiviCRM).
If it's a dynamic content where should I translate/modify it?
If it's not can I use the ts function?

Thanks for you advice.

Those accordeon headers are an issue for me too (Address, Communication Preferences). I usually install CiviCRM in English first, then switch to French.

I think that if you install directly in French, it will be correctly translated (the title comes from the "option group" title, which is sometimes exposed in the hidden screen at: /civicrm/admin/options?reset=1. Most of the accordeons are in "Contact Edit Options" (address, comm preferences, sociodemographic).

The "Settings - Display Preferences" is already rather cluttered, but adding a direct link to that screen could be useful?
