I’m not entirely sure when I did my last update (so I don’t know when this issue started), but I was contacted by one of our moderators today to say that some of the people she’d invited recently had messaged her to say that the invitation read just:
translation missing: en.invite_forum_mailer.text_body_template
I hadn’t changed my mailing templates for some weeks so I had to do a bit of research on Meta, and turned up this thread which suggested that the templating system will reoprt this error if it can’t find the right key in the locale files.
When I looked at and did some test edits on my email templates, I got the error:
And I know that %{invitee_name} has only just been changed to %{inviter_name} because I reported it as an issue and I saw the commit last week:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/248ad5466d5009476fb7170e878096a3e343ec1c
So if you are getting weird locale/translation missing errors on your invitations it could be caused by this. It’s easily fixed by changing %{invitee_name} to %{inviter_name} in all your invite templates (‘Invite Forum Mailer’, ‘Invite Mailer’, ‘Custom Invite Forum Mailer’, and ‘Custom Invite Mailer’).
It may only affect people who have edited their stock invite templates, as I have.
I’m on v1.9.0.beta15 +167
