No submit button for translations in /translate UI #252

Closed monitz87 closed 7 years ago

monitz87 commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to input new translations in the UI but there is no way of actually submitting them. I searched the repository for the UI html and js files, and there is no visible way to submit translations for my strings. Is there something I'm missing?

The only way to add new translations is by putting strings to translate in your code. Then they get detected automatically. Like this:

<h1>{{mf 'heading_welcome' 'Welcome to my Site'}}</h1>

I have those, the thing is that when I go to the translation UI I cannot translate them to another language. I'm getting "insert failed: Access denied undefined" in the client

Yeah, my bad, I missed that part. Thanks

DSpeichert commented 7 years ago

No problem!

One thing that led to my confusion though, is that you can still access the /translate route even if you aren't allowed to edit it. (For example I wasn't logged in as any user and thus could not insert new translations, but I could still access the interface). Isn't there supposed to be an "error" template that shows if your access is denied?

I'm not sure. It's hard because of the different routers, that's why the package is split and you're not forced to use the UI at all. Maybe @gadicc can answer that, I don't really know the code that well anymore.
