Hi

I’m trying out theme 2017, and came across this
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-read-more-information-into-german?replies=8#post-2917351

This string http://bit.ly/2oDUDKg doesn’t get translated.

Hi! I think I see the issue. It’s actually coming from the theme’s translation strings instead, because the theme uses a slightly different string than any listed on WordPress.com’s translations.

And, we actually already have a translation in place for that string, but because the theme is missing so many other translations right now, it’s not been implemented yet.

Once those other strings have been added and validated, all of the translations will come through. If you add some translations to push it past 85%, let us know and we’ll see if we can get those approved quickly. Cheers!

Can you push the approvements?

“19 translations are waiting. As soon as they are approved, 86% will be translated.”

The validators will need to take a look, and it looks like there’s at least one with warnings there, too. But once they are approved, give it a day and it will start working.

Thank you for your help with translating!

@manuschwendener no luck yet? Hmm, your validators have been pretty active, but I’ll try to find someone to take a look.

You bet. It looks like there are still a few strings that they aren’t quite sure about, so if there are any other easy ones we can knock out, that would be good. For example, I’m just guessing from older themes, but perhaps…

<span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on</span> %s

could be:

<span class="screen-reader-text">Veröffentlicht am</span> %s

Makes sense, yes (I couldn’t tell from just the string & the translation memory was no help at all in this case). Submitted.

Scroll down to content
Front Page Section %1$s Placeholder
Front Page Section %d Content

Must be easy, too. Can you see hints from older themes? Translation Memories are empty.

You don’t have to look for it. With the pending translations we’re at 91%.
