Language problems

[Joel]

yep, The translations is outdated and wrong on some places. Just as George says.
You can easily correct them with poedit.

Hey Sorin,

Thanks for elaborating on your issue. Let me explain what’s going on. There is not a coding problem.

First you say this:

So, without translating, it will return frenglish (and that’s what a lot of users are claiming):
Recurring Événement
Related Événements

No, this is not the case – if it’s “without translating”, then why would the languages would be mixed? What it means if there are mixed languages is that you are loading a translation, but that the translation is incomplete.

Next, you say this:

And translating (in po file) ‘Recurring %s’ into ‘Réccurent %s’ and ‘Related %s’ into ‘Apparentés %s’ we will get a wrong French words order, which is not acceptable either:
Réccurent Événement

This is not an issue because you do not have to keep the order of the words in the translated string.

For example, “Recurring %s” is the original string, but you could just put the %s first in your translated version of it, then change the word “recurring” to whatever makes sense in your language.

So, in other words, if you have this:

Related %s

And you want it to be this:

Événements apparentés

Then do not just literally translate the original string to be this:

Apparentés %s

If Apparentés comes after, then put it after. Like this:

%s Apparentés

That will work completely fine.

For all other folks in this thread – if your language files are mixed with English and your original language, then your language is just not fully translated yet. I am sorry if that’s the case, but the only solution is to submit translations so we can improve them. Then, check back on the translations site to see if your language is complete. If it is, then delete your plugin’s existing language files and download fresh new ones off of translations.theeventscalendar.com.

Please consult these two articles for more information about it:
