Hello,
Discourse is showing the birthday in a strange way:
It’s written birthday twice and the numbers doesn’t make sense.
Someone can explain to me?
Thank you.
AI-generated summary
The Birthday in Discourse discussion revolves around an issue with the display of birthdays and anniversaries on the forum. jenni_alencar initially reports a problem with the display, showing “birthday” twice and nonsensical numbers. ondrej explains that the issue is due to the translation of “birthday” and “anniversary” in Portuguese, which are the same word (Aniversário).
riking identifies the problem as a bug in the translations, where one tab shows the user’s birthday and the other shows the anniversary of registering for the forum. ondrej clarifies that the left button represents the anniversary and the right button represents birthdays.
The discussion also touches on the difference between birthdays and anniversaries in Portuguese. Falco explains that birthdays are referred to as aniversário, while anniversaries are referred to as aniversário de comunidade.
Regarding the nonsensical numbers, Falco attributes the issue to a broken translation of js.dates.full_no_year_no_time in pt_BR and offers to fix it. The fix is now available in Transifex and will be rolled out to instances in the coming days.
Anniversary as in 1 year on forum.
Also according to Google translate birthday in Portuguese is also Aniversário which is the same as anniversary.
You will have to change via admin -> customise -> text
Hi,
I didnt understand. Why is written birthday twice?
My problem is not the writing… Is why birthday has two click options, and the numbers doesnt make sense.
This is a bug in the translations.
One of the tabs is the person’s birthday, and the other tab is the anniversary of registering for the forum.
The pt_BR translation needs to be fixed to make the words different.
See above.
Great Kane!
Thats part of the solution. And the numbers above? 8 33 doesn’t make any sense.
@riking, another question..
Which tab is the bithday of the users and which one is the community anniversary of that user?
thx
Left button is anniversary and right button is birthdays.
Whats the difference for you guys between anniversary and birthdays?
Portuguese doesn’t have a word for it, so it’s weird.
Birthday is what we call “aniversário” like the day you were born in the year.
Anniversary is what we would call “aniversário de comunidade” or completing another year in the Discourse instance.
Would “.. de Comunidade” or similar be meaningful enough in context to serve as the entire button text?
Wait, no, because it’s the one on the left. Oops.
Great @Falco. And how about the numbers?
As said by @riking that is just a translation error.
The js.dates.full_no_year_no_time is completely broken in pt_BR.
Let me fix it.
Edit: It is fixed in transifex now. It will be available for your instance in the next few days.
