Problem found…. the pro is needed.

Sorry

Question answered

Mm. sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. I’ve Polylang running, not WPML.

OK

After more than 3 days of waiting for support, the plugin was removed. Thus, the above support request is obsolete.

Thank you. I’ll stay alert.

Is the support for this plugin discontinued?

Hi Jwff,
most prominently it concerns what is visible at the front-end, particularly the sentence:
Latest Message: 4 days, 23 hours ago
See for Dutch and German:
https://chaosowl.net/sac-german.jpg
https://chaosowl.net/sac-dutch.jpg
In German it shows:
Letzte Nachricht: vor 4 Tags, 23 Stundes
This has to be:
Letzte Nachricht: vor 4 Tage, 23 Stunden
In Dutch it shows:
Laatste bericht 4 dags, 23 uurs geleden
and it should be:
Laatste bericht 4 dagen, 23 uur geleden

And here
https://chaosowl.net/sac-german2.jpg
You’l see the respective translations in Loco-Translate.

Hope, this helps.

I have restricted myself so far to the parts that are visible at my sac-windows.
After the problem is solve,d I will of course translate it all into the two other languages.

Kind regards,
Gunivortus

Hi Jeff,

here are remarks I got so far ….

From the Loco Translate support:

“A quick look at the source code shows that “%s” is replaced with the return value from a function called “sac_time_since” which does not implement translatable plural forms correctly. This is the author’s responsibility to fix.”

From different WordPress specialists is several groups…..

“The “%s” does not work correct in a multilingual environment, it only works for English”.

“This way of the time variable is kept simple and short, for a multilingual site it needs to be changed. It does not take in account that, for example, that the English plural terms weeks, days, hours, minutes are in German: Wochen, Tage, Stunden, Minuten. In other languages it differs again.”

I did not get really programming suggestions though.

Kind regards,
Gunivortus

Thank you. I’ll pass it to the plugin author.

I don’t know whether it is a sac issue.
I’ll ask about this PO translation in a Facebook forum for all about WordPress, including plugins. Many specialists participate there. I’ll come back here if I get a solution.

Yes, exactly I tried it with Loco Translate. But I’m hanging on the time code %s. It makes plural in German and Dutch silly.

Jeff, of course I am talking about such files for your SAC. ??
And I asked, because perhaps someone already did a translation.
I tried myself, but can’t get the %s correct. I suppose, that ‘s’ is making minute, hour, day plural, but in German and Dutch these plurals don’t end at ‘s’.
Or, perhaps, it means something complete different.
Anyway, I need PO files in German and Dutch for your SAC and, looking at the public page, they don’t exist publicly.

Someone here who made it for themselves?

Hi Aert,

one of them used an admin account I had created for support reasons. The other, my admin, used my account. And I tried it both with my own and with that support account.
After searching and testing for quite awhile, I have to admit, that I have become pretty clueless.
While using Firefox, I had logged the failing procedure and saved it in a HAR file, but that did neither show a possible cause.

Anyway, this might be drifting off a bit from your plugin. ??

Gunivortus
