I18N Issue

  • “Force Regenerate Thumbnails” is its plugin name, but it has a precise meaning when this string shows on the WordPress Dashboard. In some languages, like zh_TW, the translators don’t translate the plugin’s name but need to translate the plugin’s UI strings, so I made some modifications for this issue.

    All modifications are based on 2.1.1.

    class-forceregeneratethumbnails.php, line 71 and 72

    _x( 'Force Regenerate Thumbnails', 'UI Strings', 'force-regenerate-thumbnails' ),
    _x( 'Force Regenerate Thumbnails', 'UI Strings', 'force-regenerate-thumbnails' ),

    Line 244

    $actions['regenerate_thumbnails'] = '<a href="' . esc_url( $url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr__( 'Regenerate the thumbnails for this single image', 'force-regenerate-thumbnails' ) . '">' . _x( 'Force Regenerate Thumbnails', 'UI Strings', 'force-regenerate-thumbnails' ) . '</a>';

    Line 266

    $actions['bulk_force_regenerate_thumbnails'] = _x( 'Force Regenerate Thumbnails', 'UI Strings', 'force-regenerate-thumbnails' );

    Line 335

    <h2><?php echo esc_html_x( 'Force Regenerate Thumbnails', 'UI Strings', 'force-regenerate-thumbnails' ); ?></h2>

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for providing that, we’ll get those changes made and double-check to ensure we haven’t missed any cases!

    Thanks for the quick reply. I want to let you know this plugin is fully localized for zh_TW, including its zh_TW plugin page.

    This excellent and free plugin deserves to own a localized UI.

    Oh that’s fantastic, thank you so much! I should have mentioned earlier, if you’d like to drop your changes on Github, you can do that here: https://github.com/nosilver4u/force-regenerate-thumbnails

    Either way, I’m hoping to work on this more next week after the holidays. Thanks again for all your contributions!

    I’ve merged the PR, but before I push it into the dev area on wp.org (via SVN), do you think it would be helpful if I changed the context from “UI Strings” to be more descriptive of the actual location?

    For example, “Media actions row”, “Bulk actions drop-down”, etc.

    I think you are right if you make the changes you mentioned.

    Okay, I’ve pushed the updates to svn, they should show up as translatable strings in the Development area soon (not sure how long that takes to refresh).

    I don’t have anything else in the queue for FTR at the moment to warrant a version bump, but if there’s nothing new within the next month or so, I’ll bump the version so that translations can be released to users.
