Good afternoon Hans-Gerd and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

You are right. Somehow during the last update of our plugins, the translation files were not fully updated for Core, Pro, Community and Community Tickets.

Even the files on http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/projects are not right

The workaround for now will be to update the po file from the pot file
This can be done in Poedit using Catalog > Update from pot file

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hi Geoff,
thanks for answer.
Sorry, but I haven’t seen before, that this problem just has discussed in the following post.
But indeed, all strings are not offered yet to translation:

Good evening Hans-Gerd,

Thank you for writing back.

There might be a couple of missing strings in the admin interface, but all the strings you mentioned will reappear as soon as you update the latest language files using the pot file found in its language folder.

The process is rather simple:

1. Open your Pro .po file in Poedit
2. Use Catalog > Update from pot file
3. Translate any missing string and clear all fuzzy strings after review
4. Save your .po file
5. Replace your existing .po and .mo files in the /lang/ folder.
6. Repeat the process with the Community Events language file

Additionally, we will fix this for the next maintenance release due next week.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hi Geoff,
thank you for answer and advice.
It will be better, to close this topic for new replies, because the issue is discussed in the following topic:

Thank you and sorry for confusion.

Kind regards

Good evening Hans-Gerd,

Thank you for writing back.

Actually, you will be glad to know that Andras and I are working jointly on the language threads.

In this specific case, it looks like the Community Events pot file might not be up to date.

We will run some additional tests on this tomorrow.

As for closing this ticket, this is totally up to you.

We typically recommend separate threads for 3 reasons:

1. To make sure we provide personalized support
2. To be able to escalate issues based on the number of reported threads
3. To make sure we don’t bundle issues that are actually different

In this case, I believe none of these conditions are met.
So I guess, if Marcus is cool with having you in the conversation, why not ? 🙂

Have a great day!

Hi Geoff,
thank you for writing back and informations.

I’m happy to hear that you are working on the language threads and an update of the pot file may come next days.

So I will wait.

Have a great day

Best regards

Good evening Hans-Gerd,

Awesome! I can confirm that for now 2 workarounds exist:

1. The one Andras gave to Marcus and yourself (although not super clean, it’s the easiest)
2. Updating the pot file from sources and then updating the po file from the updated pot file

Either way, we will release this in our next Maintenance release due next week.

Have a good weekend,

Geoff B.

[Hans-Gerd]

Good Morning Geoff,

many thanks for your answer and thanks a lot for advice.

I think I will wait for next maintenance release, because there are further issues in this version of TEC.
But I will test the suggested solutions in my dev environment.

Nice Weekend

Hans-Gerd

Good morning Hans-Gerd,

Awesome!

A maintenance release is due this week.
I will mark this thread as “pending fix” so that you get contacted once this issue is ironed out.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Good evening Geoff,
thank you for information. I’m very happy to hear that.

Best regards

Good evening Hans-Gerd,

We have just released a version that stabilized (we hope) most language strings issues.
Would you mind checking if that is true on your end ?

If not, if you could report any rogue string, that would be super appreciated.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hi Geoff,
thanks for information.

Unfortunately there is still an issue with the translation of day-names (see screenshot).
It seems to be, that there is only
one “T” for “Thursday”=”Donnerstag” and “Tuesday”=”Dienstag” and
one “S” for “Sunday”=”Sonntag” and “Saturday”=”Samstag”
in the PO-File “tribe-events-calendar-pro-de_DE”.

I couldn’t see different terms for sunday and saturday as well as Tuesday and Thursday in POT-File.

Best regards
Hans-Gerd

Good evening Hans-Gerd,

Thank you for the follow-up, it helps us continue our efforts to get these language files under control.

Yikes! That is definitely not good.

I will run this by our resident German language files expert.

Hang tight!

Hallo Hans-Gerd,

Thanks for pointing that out! Indeed, that wouldn’t work in Hungarian either. 🙂

The bug is noted, I cannot make a promise, but it is a fairly easy fix from our side, so I will try to push this fix into the next maintenance release.

If you would like I can give you detailed instructions on how you can fix it, though at the moment it is a bit lengthy. A fix is needed in the .pot file and you will need to do a minor change a couple of lines in some core files. Let us know.

Cheers,
Andras
