Definite articles - how to add them to the language in acp?

[Apfelstrudel]

Hi,

thanks for implementing the definite/indefinite article feature for foreign languages. But how can I add an additional language string as described in the release notes ...

... without uploading a complete new language file. We changed a lot of pre-translated strings and don't want to overwrite them again.

Is there any manual way to add those definite article strings?

BTW, you can't search for ___defart keys only. I always see the __indefart.

[Apfelstrudel]

Are there no instructions available how to add those definite articles?

You don't need to add the strings, it's just a case of translating them as with any other. The problem is that the __defart_ strings appear not to have been included with 4.1.14.1.

[Apfelstrudel]

Yes, that's what I mean. The strings are not available within the default english language.

But the release notes contain following info: "You must add matching strings which provide the name of the content type..."

So what does "add" mean exactly?

That’s for developers, not admins. 

[Meddysong]

What does it say above that? "Information for 3rd party developers"

If you're not a developer then you needn't worry about it.

[Apfelstrudel]

But after the .14.1 upgrade I have mixed languages in activity streams. That's why I ask. So I have to add something.

[opentype]

Just put in “topic”, “question” and so on in the language string search and translate the untranslated phrases. 

[Apfelstrudel]

Nope. That's what I already did. There are no untranslated phrases with i.e. "topic".

[opentype]

Then you might need to contact support. It worked for me. The casing problems disappeared after the upgrade and I added a few translations. Nothing else needed. 

[Meddysong]

As I said above, the __defart_ strings appear not to have come across with the release. I have a support ticket open currently about it, since I wanted to be sure it wasn't just something wrong with my installation. Since you're experiencing the same thing, I think we know it's a bug. At least IPS is aware of it now

[Apfelstrudel]

Now I tried it on different installations. Everytime the same result with mixed languages. Before the upgrade it worked fine and the system used the correct translation. I already opened a ticket.

Does anybody know the phrase key of this word "topic"? I cannot find any untranslated phrase with it.

Maybe I can fix the problem knowing the right key.

[Apfelstrudel]

Now I got the answer from support to search for __defart_topic but those __defart phrases don't exist at all. Even when I enter __defart as a key search critera only the __indefart phrases come up. Tested on two different .14.1 installations. Both were upgraded before.

So something seams to be wrong. I don't know how opentype found the phrases. ?

Like I said: I really just search for things like “topic”.

[Apfelstrudel]

Exactly those __defart phrases are not being shown in our installations. We tested it on two different systems. If we search for __defart only the __indefart phrases are being shown. Very strange.

At the moment tier II support escalated it to the developers. Maybe it is a bug but not everywhere.

[Meddysong]

I think @Apfelstrudel and I are experiencing the same problem. My case is with support. I'll post here later if there's any resolution:

 

[Apfelstrudel]

Exactly like on my systems. Thanks @Meddysong

[opentype]

So what happens if you guys do what is shown in MY screenshot? I did not open that popup and did not search for those keys. 

[Meddysong]

Oh, how strange. If I do it your way, the strings show!

[Apfelstrudel]

Exactly. Doing it this way it works. ?

Something must be wrong with the popup search. 

Thanks.

Support are adding it to the bug tracker because it isn't working as planned.
