[SOLVED] Translation plugin of GJ is not consistent

This is a copy of a post I sent in the general GJ forum. I'm new here and forgot that I can post in this Professional member support forum. So you might want to delete the post from there to eliminate redundancy...

I created a new plugin based on the English version.
Most of the Phrases I translated are working fine, but some of them aren't.

Just for the demonstration of the problem, and to make sure that I didn't mess the files, I put a clean version of language.php into the plugin folder (cbgroupjivehe-il) and only changed two phrases - one which works fine and another one which doesn't.

I'm using J2.5.9, CB1.9, GJ270, PHP5.3.1 MySql5.5.16, all in WAMP environment.

Please see the attached files:
1) the translation result as it renders: one part which works, working override from the configuration at the backend and a non working translation.
2) Screenshot of the working translation in the language.php file
3) Screenshot of the phrase which doesn't work
4) Screenshot of the working override.

Thanks,
Emanuel.

If you use an override you need to translate the override. The default is "Groups" and there is a translation for "Groups". If you change it to "Test" then you need to add a translation for "Test". Some of those are for locations that you are not at for their usage. If you need string translation help then enable translation highlighting within CB > Configuration > Integrations as it'll help you find strings.

Hello Kyle and thank you for the reply.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

When I translate the language.php file, I expect to see all translated phrases, especially if I remove the variables in the square brackets [].
But strangely, some of the translations appears and some just pick the English version plus the override term.

In the screenshots I attached, you can see two lines translated, in the same language file, then the result where on of the translations appears fine and the other one only picks the left side of the syntax (e.g. 'You are not invited to any [groups].').
This specific syntax actually appears in two different files of the plugin, but of course I translated them both, so the reason is not missing the right one).

Seams to be working ok in my tests. It's using the string found in the below language file.

IN: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/cbgroupjiveen-gb/integrations_language.php
ON: Line 1057

For example the below worked.

'You are not invited to any [groups].' => 'You are not invited to any [groups]. 456',

I translated everything again, from scratch and now it works! I have no idea why...

Translating this plugin is a nightmare since the same variables like [group] and others are used sometimes to pull the override and sometimes data from the database, like the name of the group...

Besides, the title of the category overview page (the main page) is not programmed to use the language file, but only pulls the override. I had to edit one of the template files (overview_panes.php line #18). I believe this header also should be part of language.php.

Thanks for checking it with me!
