Many wordings have never been translated because they're not in Transifex

[Jerome-Herbinet]

Here are at least 3 old issues talking about untranslated wordings.

They don't appear in Transifex despite a supposed (IMO, but I'm maybe mistaking) good syntax : #2131, #2372, #2166

I took an overview of the situation concerning untranslated wordings (seen in GF 18.0.0 / 17.0.2 / 16.0.7 ...) :

• "Users/groups that can manage" (placeholder)
• "Unlimited" and "Other ..." (quota dropdown)
• To this, another translation isn't visible in Transifex :

@icewind1991 ? @jancborchardt ?
This is not a critical problem, but it has been hampering the administration of group files for non-English speakers for years.

[jancborchardt]

Yes, should of course be translatable. FYI @icewind1991 @skjnldsv @sorbaugh

@joshtrichards @jancborchardt this look (at least partially) like the same issue we just met with "bbb integration" ( littleredbutton/cloud_bbb#261 ): indeed, as the front of groupfolders is based on React, it uses backticks that are very badly handled by xgettext. When i run the "check-files" options from translationtool.phar, it describes the problems and the lines that is the source of the bug (that seem to feet with Jerome feedback):

** Warning : Check potentially missing translations sentences : groupfolders /var/www/html/nc29-dev/apps-writable/groupfolders/src/settings/App.tsx
> Starting at line 290
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Advanced permissions allows setting permissions on a per-file basis but comes with a performance overhead')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Advanced permissions are only supported with Nextcloud 16 and up')
> Starting at line 298
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Delete')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Folder name')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Quota')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Advanced Permissions')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Folder name')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Create')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'User')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Group')
  -> t('groupfolders', 'Users/groups that can manage')

So i propose a very simple PR #3191 .

Note : maybe NextCloud should communicate to "React front apps" so that they should check their translations with translationtool ? (Do NextCloud know wich ones are using react ?)

Thanks, @smarinier!

At least within the project itself a quick and dirty search shows only groupfolders and whiteboard.

I just have a quick look. Whiteboard does not have l10n folder, neither seems to be linked to nextcloud transifex repository. And at least the translationtool doesn't seem to work on it. But it appears to be a very recent project (may 2024 ?)

[joshtrichards]

Good point. I was only looking for indications of React usage. :)
