Hello,

Discourse is showing the birthday in a strange way:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/2/625a5c46388aa3b3ccf2c2967c5b41438bf4ef5b.png)

It’s written birthday twice and the numbers doesn’t make sense.

Someone can explain to me?

Thank you.

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.

Great Kane!

Thats part of the solution. And the numbers above? 8 33 doesn’t make any sense.

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.

</div>

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.

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.
