Help Translate Modrinth!

[jolly kayak]

And of course for more complex strings it still gives a baseline for translating the string directly in crowdin

[dusty pivot]

Idk if Modrinth is on Crowdin's OS-project plan or paid, but from own experience and what I understand can you not add/change the TM in open source project plans.

It's on by default and set to what crowdin provides.

[jolly kayak]

Afaik modrinth is not on the open source plan tho, cause of Modrinth hosting. I thought TM's were something completely seperate from Crowdins pricing since you bring your own API keys

At least thats how it works for my account

[dusty pivot]

No idea.

I use Crowdin for like one project and it's on OS so...

(And I plan to move stuff anyway)

[jolly kayak]

Ngl I would have put my projects on weblate if the ui wasnt so unintuative

Since from a feature standpoint its pretty solid

[ebon sun]

Bring your own key

We won't be providing that

Or just have two tabs open and use DeepL free

[jolly kayak]

Thats how I thought it worked, sadly that isnt possible

[dusty pivot]

It seems the word for gift card is being lowercased by the site, which is odd to do as not every language has the world lowercased...
Should perhaps be fixed.

[elfin agate]

If it's "Search + noun.toLower()" probably also breaks languages in which the verb has to agree with the noun. Or if the verb has to come after the object

(i.e. verb changes based on noun)

[oak fulcrum]

i beg your pardon

[scenic girder]

Lmao

[dusty pivot]

ICU goes brrrr

[scenic girder]

Just a question, but why does the website, on its first visit, start out on the user's language then revert to English on load?

[ebon sun]

Are you ready...

just doing it for fun at this point lmao

[grand silo]

do you really need itemType/contentType in these components? i think you can use "project" without any meaning loss

[ebon sun]

no fun!! lol - will change it to project 😭

[dark parcel]

i do think some of these will get out of hand if we add more project types

[fleet tangle]

How often are proofreader applications read?

[ebon sun]

Problem is we need to build a util for this, gonna do it later in the week

[scenic girder]

speaking of which, miroma is having some difficulties catching up on the new lines and approving the strings - I kinda wanted to help out, but idk how much it would take to be a proofreader as well

[tardy pine]

Translation suggestion: I think we should have English UK and AU as they are very similar to English US but are different enough to be included maybe not AU but definitely English UK

[scenic girder]

That's why they are not included: they are very similar to English US and for now only languages that are different are included to reduce costs

[dusty pivot]

So english traditional (uk) and english simplified (us)? :^)

[dusty pivot]

Well.... de_ch is similar to de minus some grammar changes, yet it's included.

[scenic girder]

it's a candidate for being removed though

[tardy pine]

Thats fair but if it ever changes so dialects of languages are added then i think it should be included

[scenic girder]

Maybe once the whole website has been translated and all the strings are set
Currently a lot of strings are still missing

[ebon sun]

We're actually at 40% coverage now, it's getting there! 🙏

Compared to 17% at the start of the year

[scenic girder]

omg...

[dusty pivot]

what's the primary roadblock to getting most parts covered?

Out of curiosity

[ebon sun]

Not a roadblock persay but we dont have time to go through everything all at once, we're just chipping away as we upgrade various parts of the frontend

[dark parcel]

yeah someone just has to do it

there's no roadblock

[ebon sun]

It's also quite invasive if we did it all at once, merge conflicts would be ridiculous/slow down in-flight projects - but yeah we could just do it rn and be done with it, it's just not a great idea

would have the same situ when we did the eslint/prettier changes lol

200k diff

[scenic girder]

The next day: 200k new lines to translate on crowdin

[scenic girder]

apparently this string isn't on crowdin?

[ebon sun]

We're about to prune a lot of broken translations (ICU broken) - we're also now actively deleting old translations if the source English string changes significantly

All the i18n fixes in the GH mega thread should be going out soon though

[ebon sun]

Also with a fix for this, breaking it up

[scenic girder]

https://crowdin.com/editor/modrinth-platform/12/en-it?view=comfortable#7507
well there are still some ICUs that could be improved...
But I left a comment for who needs to differenciate between the items

[scenic girder]

there are a lot of strings with {type},
can they all cointain the same things or are they all different?

[dusty pivot]

@ebon sun I want to request the removal of de_ch and my part as a proofreader for it
I simply can't find any motivation anymore in making the translations.

[ebon sun]

@dark parcel Can you do this when you have the time? Remove swiss german

I dont see the point in having it anyways honestly

[scenic girder]

me and miroma were discussing if i should request to be a proofreader too

[scenic girder]

#announcements message
Looks like Filtered by is not a string on crowdin

[steady olive]

I would like to add a Slovenian translation (ping me if reply)

[scenic girder]

could be a replacement for de_zh

[scenic girder]

user.profile.badge.alpha.about.1 and user.profile.badge.hosting-alpha.about.1 are missing the ending period

[ebon sun]

Can you put it into the megathread gh issue?

[ebon sun]

Same for this 👍

[scenic girder]

it isn't truly a i18n issue... it's just a mistake in the source string

placing both there

[scenic girder]

I submitted my proofreader request

[steady olive]

.

[little thorn]

Hello (sorry for the reply, I couldn't mention you)
​I would like to request the addition of the Persian (Farsi) language to the Modrinth Crowdin project.
​There is an active community of Persian-speaking users who would benefit greatly from having the platform available in our language. I am ready to contribute to the translation process as soon as it is added.
​Thank you!

[scenic girder]

currently, due to costs, adding languages is limited to a handful of languages.
the whole platform isn't 100% translated either, so more strings have to come (and that may imply more language cutting due to costs)
if anything, i would recommend to wait for the platform to reach 100% translation first

[little thorn]

oh alright, that makes total sense. translation costs can be a pain. I'll wait until you guys hit that 100% mark for the current ones. thanks!

[scenic girder]

-# why does this sound like an ai generated response (before they edited the message)

[warped spindle]

Read the message from Laxan3000 above ↑

[steady olive]

this one?

ah

[warped spindle]

I know an AI generated response when I see one, yours does not sound close to it, don't worry

[jolly kayak]

Crowdin workflow on github seems to be failing currently

[rapid prairie]

@ebon sun

[ebon sun]

uhh

will look soon, idk whats wrong with it

spontaneously broke

[frail seal]

where are you seeing that?

because crowdin broke for the Fabric Docs yesterday, with a configuration similar to Modrinth's

[ebon sun]

oh huh

i reran and it worked

i thought the rerun failed

it said

❌ Error from server: <Code: <empty_code>, Message: Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (JSON String, Number, Array, Object or token 'null', 'true' or 'false')
 at [Source: REDACTED (`StreamReadFeature.INCLUDE_SOURCE_IN_LOCATION` disabled); line: 1, column: 1]>

[frail seal]

That's the same exact issue

it's a 503 Forbidden iirc

[frail seal]

same

[rapid prairie]

I love servers that randomly return xml

[oak fulcrum]

I DIDNT EVEN FINISH LAST WEEK'S STRINGS WHY

[scenic girder]

dies

[jolly kayak]

Light work no reaction

Apart from all the duplication the strings are pretty translation friendly, just gotta make sure that the server event specific strings use the correct form

[dark parcel]

we be shipping like crazy

[scenic girder]

hmmm

[ebon sun]

@jolly kayak I have actually been putting off setting i18n ally up lol, ty

will rev tommorow 🙂

[jolly kayak]

Lol what a coincidence

Nice

[ebon sun]

i used it for a uni proj a few weeks ago

is very neat

[jolly kayak]

Yea also just discovered it by accident

[ebon sun]

it is semi annoying it's owned by lokalise though

they aren't the best company out there in terms of open source stuff/lock in

[jolly kayak]

Havent looked into that, thought they were kinda like weblate

But apparently not

[ebon sun]

its honestly just crowdin with a faster UI and more expensive

and a massive push towards paying contracts out for translations

they r pushing AI massively now as well i think lol

as usual

[jolly kayak]

It really sucks that there isnt some open source crowdin clone, weblate is okay for what it is but I cant get used to the ui

And its slow

[ebon sun]

it is something i have wanted to do for years

loqui was gonna be that

but i got a job here instead 😜

[jolly kayak]

Yea i discovered that by accident lol

Tried deploying it on my own machine

Btw did you get the go-to-definition and usage report working? I thought it was impossible with the current object-based setup

[ebon sun]

nah was not working

i think its just bugged

[scenic girder]

there's POEditor but it has less features

[ebon sun]

for all projs

[jolly kayak]

It isnt open source tho right?

[scenic girder]

https://github.com/POEditor
they do have a github, altough the platform doesn't appear to be there

POEditor is free for open source projects tho
-# altough modrinth wouldn't fit in the criteria because Modrinth Servers exists

[jolly kayak]

Yea

[jolly kayak]

@ebon sun 👀

[ebon sun]

i wouldn't recommending running it

it has quite a few pretty nasty security vulns with react

[jolly kayak]

Yea just testing it locally by mocking some data

[ebon sun]

someone actually hijacked my vps when we had a staging version of it running lol

[jolly kayak]

Whoa

Glad that has never happened to me before

[ebon sun]

the security thing wasn't a thing we introduced but part of next.js afaik

[jolly kayak]

I somehow have never actively worked on a next project before

Started with nuxt and vue and stayed there

[dark parcel]

more expensive than crowdin is impressive O_O

[dark parcel]

funny, modrinth is also keeping me from building one. when i got laid off back in 2024 it was the first project I started working on was to make better translation software

but didn't get super far bc modrinth took too much of my time still

[jolly kayak]

Out of curiosity, roughly where on their pricing ladder is modrinth? Are you forced to use Team+ / Business?

[dark parcel]

currently on Pro but it looks like we're about out of strings

and that's already like $140/month it looks like

[jolly kayak]

That would certainly be a jump

[dark parcel]

looks like we can do one more jump on the Pro plan

[jolly kayak]

Isnt it the same price tho lol?

Wait no, team is way more expensive for the same amount

[dark parcel]

1.06M vs 100k

just such a ridiculous amount of money to spend on fairly shitty software

[jolly kayak]

Really sucks that weblate isnt really a drop in replacement

[dark parcel]

weblate is horrible

[jolly kayak]

Yea

[dark parcel]

would never use it again tbh

[jolly kayak]

Especially their legacy ui

Havent used crowdin for that long but afaik it has always stayed the same even tho the website looks modern

[scenic girder]

crowdin uses two uis but for some reason their most comfortable one is in the enterprise plan or something

there it lets proofreader vote for strings as if they were regular users, afaik regular crowdin doesn't

[jolly kayak]

Pay to win lol

[scenic girder]

idk how much it costs the enterprise thing

[jolly kayak]

Yea, I cant vote which sucks

For example when some new user suggests a bad / broken translation, I cant simply bump the old translation up

[scenic girder]

you approve it

[jolly kayak]

Yea thats why I usually do but sometimes this makes it so im approving my own translation with zero votes which looks weird

German is not that active

[scenic girder]

time to pay for the enterprise version of crowdin

[jolly kayak]

Better start raising those modrinth plus prices xD

[scenic girder]

there you can just decide as tho which role to log in

for some reason if you log as proofreader you can't translate new lines, there, tho
you gotta go on crowdsource first

[jolly kayak]

Seems like the enterprise stuff was built on top of everything purely for profit

Instead of creating a single, great ui

[scenic girder]

i mean... yeah that's how it works

[jolly kayak]

Just asking, what project youre on can afford that plan? Or is it just some company?

[scenic girder]

you just have an extra workflow tab

[scenic girder]

it's hacks.guide

idk how much they pay for it but it's just for two subdomains apparently, the others they use regular crowdin

[jolly kayak]

Interesting

[scenic girder]

uhh... it costs a bunch @jolly kayak

[jolly kayak]

I mean to be fair, for big corporations thats nothing, its more annoying for companies that arent purely profit oriented like modrinth

[snow lake]

I know that tools like Weblate have a much more spartan UI and might feel dauting to use at first, but is Crowdin's comfort really worth that inflated price tag? Especially for a non-profit-oriented project like this one, saving that money seems worth the friction of getting used to a rougher UI, or at least looking into other self-hosted alternatives

[scenic girder]

for the crazy amount of strings modrinth has, i'd say crowdin is really comfortable...
especially for the "translation memory" and "terms" features

some platforms use google sheets instead, which yeah it's free but it's quite uncomfortable and anyone can edit any language at any time and there's no proofreading stuff

-# yes i use to translate on google sheets too and it's very very uncomfortable

[snow lake]

As long as you're not using a typewriter, I think it's a good method

[scenic girder]

the more strings there are the more uncomfortable it gets, because then you can't look up how you translated similar strings without sheets wanting to search on the other languages too

-# not talking for how slow it would get with 16k strings for each language - english and keys included

[snow lake]

as far as I know, both Weblate and Tolgee also have translation memory, glossary and proofreading systems… What I don't know is how much better they r than Crowdin

[scenic girder]

i have only tested POEditor so far,
which has proofreading but lacks translation memory and glossary; but is free for open source projects

[snow lake]

Personally, I've felt right at home with Weblate, which is mainly why I recommend it as a good platform. Ultimately, that's just my opinion. What really matter to me is that, in the end, the various translations we're working on are successful

[scenic girder]

i'd stick on crowdin because that's what we used and are used with so far... would be problematic to try to move everything to a new platform

and i'd feel sorry for whoever would have to move all the context images there

[snow lake]

From what I can see, the italian translation is already quite well advanced, right?

[scenic girder]

yeah me and miroma manage it

[snow lake]

Yes, that's why I'm saying it. I saw that you beat the russian

[scenic girder]

-# well we've been ahead of every other language (as in proofreading) for a while...

we've been hitting a bit slow now, but will recover soon

[snow lake]

i'll keep an eye out, bcs I understand and write Italian as… second (and distant) language

[scenic girder]

if you notice anything that sounds off you can let us know in https://discord.com/channels/734077874708938864/1022256229403344917

[snow lake]

Sì, comandante

[scenic girder]

I apprecciate the correct use of the accented ì there 👍

[snow lake]

Btw, over the last few days I've been finishing off the French transl. and I'm now halfway through the Swiss Standard German (de-CH). Just how abandoned is that one? Because it's quite a bit behind many others

[scenic girder]

de-ch is about to be removed, really

[snow lake]

Oops

[scenic girder]

yeah it's barely any different from regular german and it just wastes words that could be used for other languages

[snow lake]

It makes sense, there are four differences from the german version, and above all that pesky ß eszett which becomes a ss double s, but I find it curious

[scenic girder]

there does exist it-ch and fr-ch too, and it's the same thing

[ebon sun]

We are also locked into Crowdin until I think sept/aug, so it's not like we can move anyways

Since we're on the paid plan

And honestly

I think Crowdin is working fine?

[scenic girder]

Yeah crowdin is working flawlessly for now, i like using that platform

[snow lake]

My Italian would be it-CH, although the difference is perhaps even smaller than in German

[scenic girder]

No problems so far, only complaint is that proofreaders can't vote like regular users

and that's only true for the non-enterprise edition of crowdin, for some weird reason

[snow lake]

it works perfectly

[scenic girder]

you're from switzerland?

[snow lake]

No… but it almost feels like it. I spend a lot of time in Switzerland, though I live in Barcelona now

[scenic girder]

I see

[snow lake]

Btw, speaking of BCN. I understand that adding new languages might be frozen at the moment, but would it be possible in the short-medium term to include Catalan in Modrinth? It's my native language after all, so I could faithfully translate everything within a few weeks

[scenic girder]

someone suggested it previously but afair it got refused for now as it shares similarities with spanish

there's both spanish and the latin american one for now

as well as portuguese and brazilian portuguese

[snow lake]

I disagree. The fact that Spanish resembles Catalan is to be expected given centuries of shared history and geography within Spain, but that doesn't mean they are the same

Let me explain it simple, Catalan and Occitan are Occitano-romances langs., which branch out from the Gallo-romance family (alongside French)

[scenic girder]

yes but we also have 4 variations of the same old spanish here

[snow lake]

Spanish and Portuguese belong to the Ibero-romance branch

by origin Catalan is closer to French🫪

[scenic girder]

Could be a replacement for de-ch as long as Catalan people don't understand regular Spanish

[snow lake]

Not at all. Everyone forgets that Catalan isn't just spoken in Spain. The Catalan-speaking population is spread across different countries: it's in the southern France (Pyrénées-Orientales, Pirineus Orientals), it's the only official language of Andorra, and it's also spoken in the city of l'Alguer/Alghero, in Italy

[scenic girder]

each country has their different variation of Spanish xd

No way we're going to include all of those variants...

[snow lake]

I think there's a misunderstanding. Catalan doesn't require regional variants like Spanish or Portuguese do! While technically ca-AD exists for Andorra and ca-ES for Spain (and ca-FR & ca-IT), in software localisation everyone just uses the single unified code ca.

Unlike other languages, the written differences between Catalan regions are minimal, so a single translation slot covers everything and every speaker understands it perfectly.

[scenic girder]

i meant each country having their own version of Spanish and Catalan being one of them

[snow lake]

Just to be clear that Catalan is not a version of Spanish. Saying that is like saying Dutch is a version of German

It is a fully independent language with its own grammar and vocabulary, not a regional variant

[scenic girder]

i may be tired and may be mixing it up with castillan

I mean, Italian also has around 20 different dialects but none of which are actually ever used in platforms as different languages

[snow lake]

No worries about the mix-up. But the comparison with Italian dialects doesn't really apply here. Those lack a unified written standard for tech. Catalan is a fully standardised, official language. That's why it's completely supported by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Minecraft itself. It's a standard industry language, not a local dialect.

[scenic girder]

Technically venetian is the closest to be a different language entirely

[snow lake]

In fact, there are two versions of Catalan in Minecraft
General Catalan (Català) and Valencian Catalan (Valencià)

[scenic girder]

also Minecraft supports every language almost

[snow lake]

Minecraft supports a crazy amount of languages. It even includes ones that aren't technically separate languages (like Valencian, which no serious linguist considers a separate language from Catalan, but politics can be funny like that)…

However you'll notice it still doesn't include any of those Italian dialects you mentioned earlier

[scenic girder]

Venetian is in Minecraft as a different language, thinking about it

Veneto

In Minecraft there are 3 Italian dialects + Italian

Veneto (Venetian), Lombardo (Lombard) and Friulano (Friulan)

[ebon sun]

We aren't adding any new languages due to the Crowdin plan limits

It grows exponentially with each language and each app/site/hosting release we do (which is why we're happily removing Swiss German for example if it's being unmaintained)

[scenic girder]

What about also removing the languages that barely have 20% completion

[snow lake]

You got me there, I just looked it up and yeah, Venetian exists in Minecraft.

But wait, I just checked Lombard, Friulian and Venetian too, and none of them are dialects of Italian🫪

[scenic girder]

Yeah Minecraft got 3 Italian dialects as different languages lmao (thought only 1 or 2)

[snow lake]

I was actually the one slowly correcting and improving the Schweizer Hochdeutsch translation. However, as a volunteer, if I have to choose between dedicating time to a dialect with no major differences from standard German (which is already well maintained) and my nativa Catalan, I will prioritise the latter

Personally I just want to know what you want me to do. I can continue with de-CH, although from what I've seen it still needs a lot of work to achieve a consistent style. Or, if you are planning to drop the practially abandoned Schweizer Hochdeutsch in the short term, we could replace it with Catalan, which I commit to actively maintain

Let me know

[dusty pivot]

Appreciate the help.
Tho, I personally have discontinued my efforts to translate swiss german, as I was the only translator.

I requested the removal of the language... why it hasn't been removed yet is odd tbh.

You can continue if you want, but it's fine too if you stop, as I myself cannot see this lang to remain.

[scenic girder]

Imo removing a language that is similar to another to a language that is different than the others is more worth

[frail seal]

[scenic girder]

Did these bug out?

only for some languages apparently

Also i was thinking if maybe the Master/Duplicate strings feature of crowin may turn useful for strings like this.
Technically, it would save on a couple of words if implemented

-# or just merging these in particular as a single string, but that wasn't the point i was trying to make

Crowdin's UI just updated live wth

[scenic girder]

Maybe i got the problem,
if the ICUs aren't mathing (eg: a variable is missing), modrinth defaults to the english string.
Can this be fixed? Reporting on the i18n GitHub

[jolly kayak]

I think this was intentional to avoid issues with broken icus

[scenic girder]

in this case the icu isn't broken and it was a deliberate choice to translate the string like this

-# also we already have approved those strings and it's hard to track all of them down now...

[jolly kayak]

Yea, I also know some icu strings in German that were simplified, ill write a script later to check which ones

[frail seal]

I think crowdin has an option to filter for broken/missing ICU tags

[scenic girder]

it does but it ignores approved strings

approved strings are counted as having no mistakes

[frail seal]

time to remove all approvals then 👍

Total: 58 missing ICU string(s) for it-IT

Cant say if its 100% accurate, it just tests which icu strings are missing

[frail seal]

I guess I'll add a {count, plural, other {}} to all

[jolly kayak]

I think the pruning that the i18n-icu-contract.ts script does wont really work in general tho. Changing a translation like {count} Server to {count} {count, plural, one {Server} other {Server}} is possible, just boilerplate, but more complex icus, like time-frame-picker.last-timeframe will always look different in some languages

[scenic girder]

do we actually have to insert the icu in all of these?
even for saving up a few words for the crowdin plan, isn't it best to just accept strings that aren't ICU-complete as well?

[jolly kayak]

I think the checks were added since broken icus messed up the home page

[frail seal]

I don't think the Crowdin pricing is based on translated words anyway, only on source words and target languages

[scenic girder]

some were intentional though;
there's no need to have an icu if both the singular and plural terms are the same, plus if we decide not to include a variable it shouldn't make the whole string explode ig...

[jolly kayak]

Yea, thats the issue

[scenic girder]

no, but it has a limit on words.
thus, less translated words, the better

[jolly kayak]

Realistically this is probably negligible

[scenic girder]

i will wait on editing those strings for now (thanks for fetching them!)

[ebon sun]

its source words * number of languages

[scenic girder]

i mean, multiply 4 words for 30 languages, that's 120 words that could be used in other strings

[jolly kayak]

@ebon sun

[ebon sun]

Im not really sure what you're asking? Do you mean like allow it to have extra?

[jolly kayak]

The problem is that it currently prunes strings like

In the last {amount} {unit, select, hours {{amount, plural, one {hour} other {hours}}} days {{amount, plural, one {day} other {days}}} weeks {{amount, plural, one {week} other {weeks}}} months {{amount, plural, one {month} other {months}}} other {days}}

where its impossible to keep the same icu structure in many languages

Because it has to be translated something like

months {{unit, select, hours {{amount, plural, one {In der letzten Stunde} other {In den letzten # Stunden} }} days {{amount, plural, one {Am letzten Tag} other {In den letzten # Tagen} }} weeks {{amount, plural, one {In der letzten Woche} other {In den letzten # Wochen} }} months {{amount, plural, one {Im letzten Monat} other {In den letzten # Monaten} }} other {In den letzten # Tagen}}

[scenic girder]

oh yeah you made me realize time-frame-picker.last-timeframe-prefix should update based on what the context is
so this string is missing a ICU in the source

[scenic girder]

{unit, select, hours {{amount, plural, one {Nell'ultima ora} other {Nelle ultime # ore}}} days {{amount, plural, one {Nell'ultimo giorno} other {Negli ultimi # giorni}}} weeks {{amount, plural, one {Nell'ultima settimana} other {Nelle ultime # settimane}}} months {{amount, plural, one {Nell'ultimo mese} other {Negli ultimi # mesi}}} other {Negli ultimi {amount} giorni}}
it's like this in italian

[jolly kayak]

That would also fail tho

[scenic girder]

would it? i don't see it in the list you sent earlier

Weird, let me check

Yea no, that would work lol, sorry

Will see if I can change the German translation to work

[scenic girder]

-# yeah i oftentimes check with an ICU editor if they would work

[scenic girder]

how is the first one missing?

how is this not valid, too...?

pretty sure both settings.language.warning and description worked and we didn't change those in a long time

so it seems now it's discarding any string that doesn't have a 100% match on the ICUs

[snow lake]

In that case, I will cease maintenance of de-CH, pending its removal and replacement. Thanks!

[fleet tangle]

Even though I am the only one for the Danish, I'll continue

All I am waiting for is proofreader to approve translations using the Memory thingy

[warped spindle]

What do you mean

[fleet tangle]

I'll see if I can find an example. One moment

Without any proofreader, this string can't be shown to the public in Danish, but if I wrote it myself using the time, then it would

IDK how often it updates though

[warped spindle]

That's not how it works though?

[fleet tangle]

But the text below says so

Could be wrong

[warped spindle]

TM simply means that you clicked on translation memories and used that translation as is.

Everyone can see your string, and it will show up on the website.

[warped spindle]

It just means that extra attention is needed because a translation was submitted as is without any changes from the memory. It has nothing to do with the visibility and the need to be approved by a proofreader.

[fleet tangle]

Aahhhh.

Thanks for the clarification

[warped spindle]

And since you are the only contributor for Danish, I would assume that there are currently no Danish proofreaders then?

[fleet tangle]

Yeah. I have applied, but not gotten any reponse

[dusty pivot]

That's not how it works here.
Strings aren't withheld because TM was used here. This is simply an indicator for proofreaders to better check this line as it may contain errors.

Also, as a proofreader are you not allowed to approve your own strings. That defeats the point of the proofreader role

See the oldest pinned message or here: #1404516213689811004 message

[fleet tangle]

Thanks. GeorgeWindsor already told me half of it, and I knew the other half, but thank you either way

[scenic girder]

I'd say you're only allowed to if they're simple translations like Cat -> Chat in french

[scenic girder]

So that one "i18n strings fix" completely broke some strings instead,
it even removed all the strings in which '{name}' was replaced by "{name}" (changing quoting style).
This makes no sense

[ebon sun]

Where?

like the broken ones

will have a look

[scenic girder]

Commit #6131
Check the i18n thread

Instead of removing all the strings which ICU structures aren't the same between the original string and the translated one, just remove the ones in which the ICU can't be parsed, so translators are free to make their own ICUs

[ebon sun]

if its this you're referring to, gonna look further into it later in the week - just got some stuff to do first, bear with us 😅 - frontend is spread pretty thin with 3 engineers

aware of the contract purge script not working perfectly

[scenic girder]

I don't really know if it's the same issue, but it removed about 50 strings from the website

many of which are the ones most people would see

[ebon sun]

Yeah its probably just the contract purge script being broken

its not deleting them off crowdin tho
