Localization issue (Irish) - translations not appearing - keys being displayed instead of translation

[aindriu80]

What happened?

Irish has been fully translated on Weblate however when switching to Irish in Kavita keys are being displayed and not the translated text. I have noticed other languages (Indonensian) with same issue. Here is a screen shot of User Preferences:-

Translations have been translated where applicable however the {{ }} items were left as is, he is a screenshot of some translations:

https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/discussions/3177#discussioncomment-10683465 please follow the steps here

[aindriu80]

I tried those steps but it didn't make any difference, I have tried Firefox and Chrome, I don't usually use Chrome and haven't used it with Kavita before but followed the steps (clearning all local storage) and there were no changes

[aindriu80]

I re pulled the docker container however the display issue is still there image: jvmilazz0/kavita:latest

This is a cache issue and not an issue with the localization file. The steps linked, should help fix the issue. You can validate that it is a caching issue, by opening up the Kavita URL in a browser you've never used before or incognito mode. That will load a fresh copy of the locale file.

[aindriu80]

no luck with Irish but your solution works with Korean.. Korean has the same issue however when I hit hard refresh it brought in the Korean strings. I tried Safari which I never use and Firefox Developer Edition (incognito mode) but it is not pulling in the strings and is using the keys.

[majora2007]

Let me take a deeper look. Last night I did notice some weirdness in all the locales, maybe something with weblate or some manual merges.

While I can't release another hotfix, I can give instructions on how to update your locale files manually.

[aindriu80]

Thats fine! I will wait for your instructions:)

[majora2007]

Okay this is a very strange issue because it only affects Irish, but the json is valid. I'm stumped. I raised an issue with the underlying library to get some expert help on it. I did just push and sync weblate with updated json files (the underlying store for the locale files).

I'll update you once I have some more understanding.

[aindriu80]

I see, that is very strange seeing the JSON is valid. It is hard to say why it isn't working. Kavita has the right keys (one key example is ga.user-preferences.global-settings-title ga is the language code for Irish). I look forward to your findings, many thanks for investigating!
