Linguist, customize translations with ease

szrcmk

Bazaar plugin does not accept translation

szrcmk it looks like Bazaar translations aren't loaded inside Flarum to begin with. What language pack are you using ? Did Bazaar text appear prior to using Linguist ?

Did you try clearing the cache manually, via the admin or the command line ?

Could you post the output of php flarum info ? It would give us flarum version, linguist version and which language pack(s) you have.

What you're doing there in Linguist shouldn't make any difference, English should be used by default if Bazaar isn't translated by your language pack and English text contains the same string you're trying to set.

How about adding "default fallback". So as long as the field is empty, it'll fall back to english, which everyone supports atm.

It's a huge headache with extentions that isn't multilingual.

clarkwinkelmann

ThomasBang Flarum should fallback to english automatically, but doesn't do so in the front-end as reported in this issue flarum/core1774

And it looks to me that fixing the issue in Flarum directly will require less work than trying to implement a fix via an extension like Linguist. The underlying problem in based on the fact that if you cross-reference translations that exist in English versus those that don't exist in English to find the ones to override, it goes over the standard memory limit and crashes PHP. If someone got any idea on a memory-frienly approach, feel free to add your thoughts to the Flarum issue linked above.

If you really need to fix some extensions, you could filter translations by extensions, then copy every English translation you need manually to "default translation".

Public service anouncement: as expected (since the beta 8 release already and announced above) this extension is affected by a breaking change in beta 9 and will require some changes to be compatible.

I recommend not installing the current version at all on beta 9 as it might mess up with the new translation logic.

You can follow the GitHub issue here: flagrow/linguist8

I'll try to take a look in the next few weeks. You may contact me directly if you'd like to sponsor the update to get it sooner 😉

Or if someone wants to have a try at a PR let me know so we don't start two different updates.

I'm adding the incompatible tag here in the meantime.

clarkwinkelmann It will wait, because without this extension, my site has lost MY translation

Alkir

And if the opportunity to somehow pull out my translation, while you solve this problem?

clarkwinkelmann

Alkir you can extract your translations from the flagrow_linguist_strings database. Then you'll need to write a script or do some manual editing to put it into a Yaml file for a translation.

It's possible others have been able to continue using Linuist on beta9, by manually clearing the cache after every change. But I'm not 100% sure because nobody reported here.

I just did a clean install, I installed the Flagrow Linguist, I activated it, then imporeti the old table to the new database.

worked perfectly on beta9

I used laragon to import with 100% certainty

Now that this extension is incompatible, what's the recommended way to change, for example, the text in the search bar, if any?

clarkwinkelmann

nxta it appears to actually work with beta 9, there are just some issues with translations caching that require manual cache clearing.

The other solutions involve creating a language pack, or loading a custom translation file from extend.php.

Tirual

clarkwinkelmann I can't seem to get it to work at all at beta 9, when i enable it inside my extensions it doesn't show any of my translations on my site after i cleared cache and everything?

Do you have to make a new clean install at beta 9 for it to work or?

So maybe if i removed it completely and installed it again on beta 9 and made my translations again that would work? What worked for you?

nxta

There is Linguist by Flagrow, but it's currently incompatible with beta 9.

clarkwinkelmann solutions involve creating a language pack, or loading a custom translation file from extend.php.

nxta

Tirual I gave the plugin another chance today, as when I first posted, after upgrading to beta 9, it actually broke my application. Indeed, it doesn't do that after a clean install, but none of the linguist translations show up.

@clarkwinkelmann did you use some kind of workaround?

clarkwinkelmann

nxta there's no workaround. It just seems to work for some people and break for others on beta 9.

No work has been done yet to make it fully compatible with beta 9. I intend to take care of the update if no one else does it, but haven't yet found the time to do it.

robinodds

On Flarum beta 9 and 10 I'm no longer able to translate Sticky, Tags and Subscriptions extensions with Linguistic.

I use the Italian package, but I prefer to change some sentences and with these Exts I cannot.

clarkwinkelmann

The Linguist update for b9/10 is in the work.

Hello, I agree Linguist doesn't work anymore I'm unable to change core.forum.post_scrubber.now_link for example. But thanks for your hard and good work !
