I wonder how I can stop Discourse from overriding my already overridden translations. Our UI/UX is a little customized and it does not follow the current one in Discourse as is. In Spanish, some people do not understand this Activar listas inteligentes al escribir en el compositor but Listas autom…

how are you editing them? typically translations strings shouldn’t be overridden with an update if you’re editing them from /admin/customize/site_texts

I’m editing on this admin path, and they started to be overridden a couple of months ago. I can’t remember an exact date, but they weren’t being overridden for years.

Strange… was the example you mentioned, Activar listas inteligentes al escribir en el compositor one of the strings that’s repeatedly having the issue?

Every string that is updated (from core) reverts to default. I hope to find a solution; it’s really hard to maintain. I can debug and test whatever is needed.

OK, I think I understand that it only happens in the strings I update before Discourse publishes its translations. If I change Cancel (Resenha) to cancelar, when Discourse publishes the translation, my initial string is lost.

Why don’t you spend that time on translating Discourse for everyone?

The plain truth: because I’m translating slangs, avoiding a lot of rules on purpose… And the translation system that Discourse uses was a little intimidating. If we’re still here in a couple of months or years, I will put my effort into translating to Esperanto. I hope we can count on more simple …

Unfortunately, I keep losing translations, and it’s really very frustrating. Is there a way to prevent local changes in translation files from being overwritten during Discourse updates? I really do not want to receive those updates. The Spanish language from Crowdin is very flat and extended, t…
