Even if it is in the translation table, the string "Log In" in the SUMO homepage still remains in English.

Other strings suffer the same problem (notably "Toggle interface translation on") but "Log In" is the main one.

Reproducible: Always

Simone, please list others that have this problem, to get them all updated in one bug.

Comment 2

[Underpass]

Ok, one I have already added: "Toggle interface translation
on". If I find others, I will report here.

Bye :)

Comment 3

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

I could have swore this used to be localizable. Could bug 440171 be the cause of this?

Comment 4

[Underpass]

Chris, I remember it never was - I can be wrong, though :)

"Toggle interface translation on" is localizable for me. Do you think link in "Contributor Tools" menu?

Comment 6

[Underpass]

Yes, the link in "Contributor Tools".

This seems to be localizable:
{if $smarty.session.interactive_translation_mode eq 'on' }{tr}Toggle interface translation off{/tr}{else}{tr}Toggle interface translation on{/tr}{/if}

Hi Paul, the strings do exist even in the production environment but it doesn't get translated in it locale.

Simone,
So, on stage (logged in), I went to https://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-edit_languages.php?locale=it
and I clicked on option #2 (add new translation) (or, in <it>: "Aggiungi nuova traduzione (se non è possibile trovare una traduzione esistente da modificare)")
Then I added "Turn interface translation on" and turned it into what you can see on the right: "[it!] Turn interface translation on"

I hope this solves your problem, but please let me know if not!

Paul, 

I did manage to change the string "Turn interface translation on" - it did not exist, there was another similar string- but the string "Log In" already exists and it it already translated  correctly: "Accedi".

Attachment: Log In problem

Maybe it will help.
I also have "Log In" translated (bottom of the picture), but I cannot see it.

Comment 13

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Simone, Bogdancev: I have a fix waiting for review for the "Log in" issue. If you find others that appear to be unlocalizable, post them here.
Above in comment 10 I was saying that "Turn interface translation on" is actually localizable.

Paul Craciunoiu: ...I was saying that "Turn interface translation on" is
actually localizable.

I prove, it is.

Comment 15

Hi Paul. 
The string "Add another screencast", added recently, doesn't seem to be localizable.

Attachment: make "Log In" and "Add another screencast" localizable

Thank you Simone!

Comment 17

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

This too is really minor and should make it into 1.2.1

Comment 18

[Underpass]

Paul, I seem to have found another string: "Please log in" that is shown when you are not logged in and click on a direct link to an article in the staging area.

e.g. https://support.mozilla.com/it/kb/Pulsante+di+identificazione+del+sito?bl=n

(which is not *yet* public)

The translation table contains only the string "Please login" and maybe it is easier to change this than to add another string.

Bye

I couldn't find any instance where "Please log in" is not localizable. It seems the article you provided has been approved to go public :)
Can you try creating a test page on our staging server and point me to that?
http://support-stage.mozilla.org/

Thank you Simone! It's better to find them all than to miss some ;)

No need to create a test page: just log off support-stage and click on this link

https://support-stage.mozilla.org/it/kb/*Impossibile+cancellare+la+cronologia+dalla+Barra+degli+indirizzi?bl=n

You will see a big "Please log in" - which I cannot localize :-)

Comment 21

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

I went to 
https://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-edit_languages.php
And added "Please log in" to translate as "(it tra) Please log in" so it seems fine to me.
See:
https://support-stage.mozilla.org/it/kb/*Impossibile+cancellare+la+cronologia+dalla+Barra+degli+indirizzi?bl=n

Are you suggesting we rename it to "Please login"? I would agree that we should stick with one or the other! :)

Comment 22

[Underpass]

No, it's perfect! I just meant to say that the only string I found was "Please login" but I think you could leave only the "Please login" string.

See bug 461409

Sigh... I'm too tired to answer in bug reports... Sorry.

The previous comment shoud be:

login" but I think you could leave only the "Please log in" string.

Simone, if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this on staging, that would really be appreciated; thanks!

Comment 26

[Underpass]

Hi Stephen, I've just seen that the string now is localized. Thanks alot!
When will this be passed in the production environment?

Bye :-)

Comment 27

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Hi Simone: thanks for helping us test!

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Support/SUMOdev_Meeting_Notepad#Next_releases shows that it'll be pushed no later than July 30th; possibly before then if QA wraps up verification of 1.2.1.

Thanks again!
