Recover the translated texts strings view

AI-generated summary

satonotdead reports that the updated admin locations overview for site texts is clearer, but notes a regression: users can no longer see the updated translated strings directly in the list view without clicking into each entry. Previously, both the original and customized/overridden text were visible in the list, which was helpful for managing technical or community slang. A screenshot illustrates the missing context where only the default (unused) string appears, rather than the active custom translation.

olivia asks for clarification, stating that in their test with a customized Spanish translation, the updated text did appear in the list. satonotdead clarifies that the issue is specifically that the list displays the original default string (e.g., “Preguntar a la IA”) instead of the customized string actually in use, losing the ability to quickly compare or view active overrides in bulk.

nat confirms they will investigate the missing information to understand the discrepancy.

I saw that the admin locations overview has been updated, and I am pleased with the update; it looks much clearer and fresh.

The only point I find against it, which I think is a regression, is that we used to be able to see the updated texts without having to enter each string, and now that is no longer possible.

I think recovering that view would be very useful, especially for those of us who use technical or community slang. The Customized indicator is good but also the overrides.

Thanks for the feedback!

I tested this with a customized Spanish translation, and the updated text showed up directly in the Site Texts list without having to open the entry.

Could you share an example of what you were able to see in the old view that’s missing now? That would help us look into it.

Sure! The missing data is the new text, in my previous example “Preguntar a la IA” is not the updated string but the default and unused one.

I mean, the results view can show the original and the updated string and that was the previous behavior that I am really missing now.

I hope I’ve myself clear now, if not please let me know. Thanks to consider it.

Just noting here that I’m going to take a look at what’s missing.
