Strings not translated in latest version

Hi,

Not sure if i understood the whole thing, cause i’m new to WP.
But I think the translation files (the *.po) are not correctly formatted.

In the fr_FR version I found :
#: src/functions/template-tags/loop.php:162
#: src/functions/template-tags/loop.php:171
msgid “%1$s for %2$s”
msgstr “%1$s pour %2$s”

But the php code on the targeted lines mentions the function esc_html_x which relies on a translation context. However, this context does not figure in the .po file. So that the esc_html_x function cannot retrieve the correct translation.

I replaced esc_html_x with esc_html__ in my version of The Events Calendar plugin, and it worked. So, I see 2 solutions :
– the contextual esc_html function should not be used (implying less information for the translators),
– the whole translation files (*.po) have to be merged with the .pot file…

Hope it helps.

Hi!

We recently added context to those strings (to enable better translations in languages where the context matters).

Unfortunately, as with any change to our translatable text, that means we’ll need to wait on community translations being provided for those new contextual strings. For some languages they’ve probably already been translated – and you can manually download the most up-to-date translations in such a case.

So, it’s really not a bug as such: rather it’s an enhancement that will allow for better translations – it’s simply unfortunate that there can be some lag between changes like this and translations becoming available (and we apologize for that, however there isn’t too much we can do on that front).

Any update on this issue? I’ve come across a similar problem where the translation for the “%s for” string isn’t working for the Month view calendar’s title. It worked prior to updating the plugin.

I can’t seem to find a way to translate the “Events for” portion of the title, “Events for June 2017” by updating the .po file.

Thanks,
Victor
