[PROD] Language issues with Surge CoS and Ops Toolbox in non-English languages (e.g. Spanish)

Issue

There is a presentation about GO to Spanish speakers. I am looking at the Ops Toolbox and the Catalogue of Surge Services in Spanish - and can see several issues.

CoS main page:

• Tab is in Spanish but the heading (that has same words) is still in English
• All of the wording is in English

CoS sectoral pages (e.g. https://go.ifrc.org/surge/catalogue/information-management )

• Most of it not translated at all, just a couple of headings and links are translated
• sub pages (e.g. https://go.ifrc.org/surge/catalogue/information-management/roles-responsibility) also not translated

Ops Toolbox:

• almost all not translated, just a couple of headings are translated
• weird glitch whereby in non-English versions there is an extra piece of text that looks like it might be a variable name? _x000d__x000d__x000d_ How to Navigate:

Expected behaviour

GO should be available in all 4 languages.

QUESTION: @tovari

• are these translation gaps a bug? or a known gap? or is it new information that these pages aren't translated?
• is manual translation needing to be arranged - if so I can potentially help wrangle - just please advise the process to manage the translations @LukeCaley

Thanks as always

Thanks @nanometrenat for reporting the issue.

We agreed with the Surge team that we don't provide translations for the Ops toolbox and CoS. Both of these sections contains links to external documents on Sharepoint that are only maintained in English. As long as these are not translated to all languages, the GO pages will remain available in English only. My latest info from last year was that Surge doesn't aim to translate these linked documents.

We will fix the strange strings on the Spanish site. We might have a dependency on solving some of the issues as we need the IFRC translation dashboard to be rolled out.
