CB Activity (fr-FR) - Placeholders translated causing tags display bug was created by maxkrylov

Hello JoomlaPolis Team.

In the French translation file

Code:

cbactivity-language.php

(fr-FR), the placeholders inside the strings

Code:

TAGS_MORE_THAN_TWO

and

Code:

TAGS_TWO

have been translated, which breaks the tag substitution mechanism.

Current (broken) fr-FR strings:
'TAGS_MORE_THAN_TWO' => '[étiquette1], [étiquette2], et [plus]',
'TAGS_TWO' => '[étiquette_1] et [étiquette_2]',

Expected (working) strings — placeholders must not be translated:
'TAGS_MORE_THAN_TWO' => '[tag_1], [tag_2], et [more]',
'TAGS_TWO' => '[tag_1] et [tag_2]',

Root cause:
In

Code:

ActivityTable.php

Code:

CBTxt::T()

performs substitution using

Code:

[tag_1]

Code:

[tag_2]

, and

Code:

[more]

as keys. Since the fr-FR translation replaced these with

Code:

[étiquette1]

Code:

[étiquette2]

Code:

[plus]

, the substitution fails and the raw placeholders are displayed to end users.

Fix applied manually on site — please correct the official fr-FR language file.

Thank you in advance.
Max.

Translations are handled entirely by the community. You're welcome to submit fixes to the Transifex files and download latest from there as well.

explore.transifex.com/joomlapolis/

In future releases when we rewrite plugins to become standalone Joomla extensions we'll just be including translations with each release automatically.
