I18n issues in Starter Templates #46470

Open emilyaudela opened 3 years ago

emilyaudela commented 3 years ago

We had our localization reviewers go through the first half of the starter templates. Here is a list of issues they pointed out across these templates.

Mayland and Barnsbury (as well as some others)

The word "Home" at the bottom of the template is not translated, even though the word "Home" at the top has been translated.

Stratford

The text in the first button is hard to see due to the color contrast.

Barnsbury

In the list of recipes on the Barnsbury template (blog posts block), there is not space when there is a line break making the ingredient list hard to read. Once the site is created, the spaces show up.

Block Issues

These are some issues that may not be related to the starter templates themselves, but to the blocks that are being used. This might be out of scope.

In the templates with the "blog posts" block, the date format is not localized. For example, in Italian, it should be 30 giugno 2020 not giugno 30, 2020.

In the Balasana template, the business hours use am/pm notation, which is not common in some languages.
