Hello,

at day view layout, the header output (in german) is “Veranstaltungen im 18.01.2017″ which is incorrect. It should be “Veranstaltungen am 18.01.2017″

I looked (almost) everywhere in the translation files etc. but I can’t find it.

Where can I change this?

Regards
Oliver

Hi, Oliver.

We have this information regarding translations:

• Translating the premium plugins
• Translating The Events Calendar (free/core plugin)
• How to Override Plugin Language Files (custom language files on your own site)
• Customizing/Changing any bit of text (actual code snippet is at the very bottom)

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Cliff,

thank you for your answer.

I guess it is not an translation issue, as I already looked after this phrase and couldn’t find the string.

I think in German it should be just handled different as in English.

EN header title = events for MONTH (month view layout)
EN header title = events for DAY (day view layout)
-> it’s the same format, so quite simple

DE header title = Veranstaltungen in MONTH (month view layout)
DE header title = Veranstaltungen in DAY (day view layout)
-> it needs to be different

The word “in” is wrong in this combination for the day view layout.

So the only thing I can imagine right now, that this header title is posted like:
“event” + “for” + MONTH/DAY
and not like:
“event for” + MONTH/DAY

So either the string for this needs to be changed or the german translation changed to at least make it more fit:
f.e. “für” instead “in”

EDIT – I just found it in the german language file and was right:
EN: %1$s for %2$s
DE: %1$s im %2$s

-> “im” is incorrect for both headers (month and day)
For day view “am” would be the best but this would not fir for month view header.

I will change it for now to %1$s f$uuml;r %2$s to make it currently best fit.
