german translation

Yes, that’s right: Your name, Your email, Please type the correct answer and Your message
These four remain English inspite of any translation. I tried german and french. Same result.
I also updated poedit.
But for now, i can live with that. I anyway did quite some changes to the contact-coldform.php (altering the pre-tag and changes from text/plain to text/html plus markup)
everything works fine.
Thanks a lot for your care.

Okay thank you, I will investigate and try to resolve for the next update. I appreciate your help with the plugin, theo. It is much appreciated.

You’re welcome.
Have a nice day.

Just to follow up with this, I have refactored the entire code base for the latest version, 20161114. From what I can tell, all translation strings are present in the pot template. Let me know if any further issues, thank you.

Hi Jeff
I run the updates and the plugin works fine. Thanks a lot for your time and effort.
Regarding the german translation, though, there are some translations missing.
To illustrate the issue, i made some screenshots and loaded them on dropbox.
If your interested to take a look at the screenshots, please send me your e-mail address.
I also checked the german pot file and the translations are there, but somehow they are not displayed in the backend.

Hi Jeff
I found the reason for the missing translations.
The syntax in the plugin sometimes does not correspond with the german pot file.
For instance:
This will be the subject of the email if none is specified
should be
This will be the subject of the email if none is specified.
So, it is just a missing point that prevents the translation to be displayed.

In some case the new strings in the plugin are not matching the ones in the pot file.
Therefore the german translation is ignored also.

I updated my plugin, just to test this issue. I could fix most of the missing translations.

There is one more thing:
?To get started, check out the Shortcodes & php-code?
This string seems to be missing.

Glad to help:

1) “If your interested to take a look at the screenshots, please send me your e-mail address”

Yes you can reach via email thru my contact form.

2) “So, it is just a missing point that prevents the translation to be displayed.”

No actually the pot file was refreshed just before plugin release to match all the current strings. Many strings were modified in the new version of the plugin.

3) “I updated my plugin, just to test this issue. I could fix most of the missing translations.”

A much better way of translating the plugin is via GlotPress. That will be the way to translate any plugin going forward, just makes everything easier for everyone.

4) “To get started, check out the Shortcodes & php-code This string seems to be missing.”

These strings are included in pot: “To get started, check out the” and “Shortcodes & Template Tags”.

Hi Jeff
Thanks for the info. I’ll check out GlotPress.
I found the missing item about shortcodes. Sorry about that.
