[Beta 4] Typos and missing phrases

**Lumina** · Tue 15 Jul '03, 5:20am

Ok Freddie.
I hope I do not give you too much work.

Now here is a big one :

WYSIWYG mode :
=> buttons info are hardcoded in English

Standard mode :
=> pop-ups descriptions are hardcoded in English

I've handled all of them up this point except for this one.

symptom : logs of the schedule tasks are hardcoded in English.
example : No users due to have ban lifted

This one is tricky because we store the english text as the log. We could either store the phrase and then eval the log entry or we could just store the usernames/userids/etc and then use a construct_phrase() and add the phrase in when viewing the log.

I prefer 2nd option.

The description looks correct to me, it just starts with the same sentence as the previous phrase as they both relate to displayed posts in threaded mode

No, no.
It is not just "starting with the same sentence". It is exactly the same description for those two phrases :
setting_threaded_cachedepth_desc
setting_threaded_maxcache_desc

When in the threaded display mode, a list of posts within the current thread is displayed at the bottom of the page. This option allows you to set how 'deep' into the tree of posts that vBulletin uses the Javascript 'caching' mechanism. This makes the initial download larger, but means that the page does not have to be reloaded for every post that is viewed.

There should be a distinction for the two descriptions.

template announcement
Inside the title, > should be >.

templates :
registeradult_global
reputation
SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST
smiliepopup
WHOPOSTED
There is a missing dash '-' inside the title.

template SHOWGROUPS
Title is :
"<HEAD><TITLE>$vboptions[bbtitle] Administration and Moderators</title>"
Should be :
"<head><title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Administration and Moderators</title>"

templates :
SUBSCRIBE
subscribe_choosetype
SUBSCRIPTION
Titles should be displayed in reverse order, with $vboptions[bbtitle] first.

template PM
Title is :
"<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] > Private Messages - $bbuserinfo[username]</title>"
Should be one of the following (from worst, to best) :
1) "<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Private Messages: $bbuserinfo[username]</title>" (not adviced for language translation reasons with punctuation)
2) "<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Private Messages > $bbuserinfo[username]</title>" (not advice for multiple accounts reasons, when adding the page to the browser favorites)
3) "<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Private Messages</title>"

template subscribe_move
Title is :
"<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] > Subscribed Threads - $bbuserinfo[username]</title>"
Should be one of the following (from worst to best) :
1) "<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Move Subscribed Threads - $bbuserinfo[username]</title>" (not advice for multiple accounts reasons, when adding the page to the browser favorites)
2) "<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Subscribed Threads: Move</title>" (not adviced for language translation reasons with punctuation)
3) "<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Subscribed Threads > Move</title>"

template BUDDYLIST
Title is :
"<title>$bbtitle Buddylist</title>"
Shouldn't it be the following ?
"<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Buddylist</title>"

Template is :
FAQ
Title is
"$vboptions[bbtitle] - FAQ: $faqtitle"
should be
"$vboptions[bbtitle] - FAQ<if condition="$faqtitle">: $faqtitle</if>"

(this way, ":" only appears when necessary)

Even better is the following (for punctuation reasons with language translations) :
"$vboptions[bbtitle] - FAQ<if condition="$faqtitle"> > $faqtitle</if>"

Page calendar.php :
I think the word "Calendar" is hardcoded here :

Nom-du-forum > Calendar > Nom-du-calendrier

This one, about colons inside user profiles, is not handled :

[Beta 4] Typos and missing phrases - vBulletin Community Forum

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=494139&postcount=54

Hello, I create a new thread about Typos because the first one was for Beta 3 (and had a typo in the title :p). The following phrases aren't available in the language tool, and so, are untranslatable : Expand All| Collapse All Save Prefs | Revert Prefs

I am thinking about it because when you add a new poll, there are two titles showing like this :
"Options :"
"Options"
And it is confusing... a distinction should be made between the two titles, and an harmonization should be done about the colons.

The style has not been updated on this forum so you can not base your opinions on what you see here.

I can't find the threaded_cachedepth setting so it must just be a remnant in the language file. It was probably renamed to threaded_listdepth and that was what I was referring to above.

template calendarbit_birthday
- member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bd_u
should be :

I believe this one was already reported and fixed.

**Lumina** · Thu 17 Jul '03, 3:14pm

Before posting, I made a search on string "bd_userid", but there was no match.

You didn't search the bug tracker.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php?do=view&bugid=94

**Lumina** · Thu 17 Jul '03, 3:33pm

Ok, then I'll make a search on the bug tracker before reporting that inside FORUMDISPLAY :

Should be changed to :

*...*
oh, no, I can't wait... I post it, and then I'll do the search.

[edit]

Ok, it was already said here :

About template group names...

Why some of them are in French, and others in English ?

Can we manually translate all of them with the name we want inside the XML file ?

I don't think so, and perhaps you should avoid translations of template group names, for a better compatibility of multi-language forums.

Now, one of my problems is : if I have a style with a template group name labelled "Rechercher"... must I provide the language file at the same time with a translation for vbphrase search ? Or can I provide a style file alone, and it will install without problems, whatever language is currently running ?

This is a little bit disappointing for me, you understand ?
