I don't seem to be able to replicate this on either 4 or 5 unfortunately. I suspect something is broken in your own language pack

Yes, as said it's not happening with the IPB English pack.
I assume IPB supports use of other language packs, what should do to fix the problem?

You will want to review your language pack with the author and ensure it is compatible with the release you’re on. I’m afraid, we do not support the language pack themselves but if it is something underlying in the language system we do. If it’s not happening on an unmodified language pack, it likely is the language pack.

We downloaded the language pack when 4.x was released and have spent many hours updating hundreds of words through the IPB releases.
Just now became aware of this problem, I do not use the Activity function myself.
The original author did this for free and, if we should be able to find him, most probably is not interested in support.

Would have thought that IPB wants your customers to be able to offer a forum in their own language? To trace down this problem or translate the language pack from scratch is not trivial.
We really hope you can assist us sorting this out.

You would need to compare the language strings to the unmodified language pack then and see where the issue is. The issue is more than likely your language pack is plainly not compatible so you will need to update it. I’m afraid, that is outside our scope of support as we will not translate a site for you and keep it up to date. However, we do support the underlying translation system so if the language string is the same as an unmodified language pack and still not working, we can investigate.

Do you have any tool to check the integrity of the language pack?

Without knowing what the issue is, it would be checking for he unknown, as it could well be any number of issues unfortunately.

That would have been in reference to do we have a tool. As mentioned, custom language translations are outside our scope of support unless there is an issue with the underlying language system.

My suggestions to start your troubleshooting would be to look into the specified key that is causing an issue using the tool below and then comparing the translation string value to that of an unmodified language pack.

Thanks, I've checked and the parameter in question, steam_blurb_with_terms, was ok in the translated pack. Did not help to reset it either.
