the main backlink to all events is incorrect translated

[Anke Gaidzik]

Hi,
I´m using the german version of the event calendar, version 3.10.1

On top of each event is a backlink to the calender view.
This backlink translation is wrong. I didn´t find the string in the translation database, perhaps it is in the code.

The meaning of the text is “all events”

In German it should be “Alle Veranstaltungen” but shown is the wrong text “Alle Veranstaltungenen”

Because it is on every event page, it would be great if you could correct it!

Best regards,
Anke

Hey Anke!

Thanks for the feedback here.

We have an all-new translations site that lets community members submit translations, or corrections to existing ones like this. Stop by http://translations.theeventscalendar.com to edit this translation, if you have the time – you can read more about how to do so here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/adding-or-updating-a-translation/

This specific translation, however, might be tricky to fix at the moment.

The reason is that in our code, we have “placeholders” for the word “Event” and the plural of it, “Events”. Then, we just translate “Event” and “Events” one time, and then these translated versions are automatically put back in the code in the translated language.

I don’t know German, but it seems like whoever translated the plugin into German most recently made this the singular form of “Event”:

• Veranstaltungen

And then they made this the plural form of “Events”:

• Veranstaltungenen

So then when “All Events” plural was translated, it just populated it with the plural “Veranstaltungenen”.

If Veranstaltungenen is incorrect, which it seems to be, you can adjust it on http://translations.theeventscalendar.com – if you don’t, someone else will soon, which is the beauty of community-submitted translations! 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hi George,

I found the same issue as Anke one week ago. The translation “veranstaltungen” for “events” instead of “veranstaltungenen” is correct in the list, see ->
http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/projects/tribe-events-calendar/de/default?filters%5Bterm%5D&filters%5Buser_login%5D&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=translation&sort%5Bhow%5D=asc&sorts=Sort&page=27

I exported from that webpage both translation files (.mo and .po) and changed them in my local installation. But the wrong translation “veranstaltungenen” did not vanish.

Is it not possible to solve the problem like I tried to do?

Thanks for your help, greetings

Frank

Hey Frank,

I’m sorry to hear that. I just exported a .po file and “veranstaltungenen” is literally not in the file anywhere…weird!

If possible, could you try setting your site to the English locale or something, then back to the German locale and see if that update “refreshes” the use of .po and .mo files on your site?

Really sorry you’re having these issues – they’re odd and I’m not quite sure why they’d be happening.

Thank you,
George
