I wonder why transifex translations in _Stable_ releases are broken since 2 or more releases while _Betas_ have updated translations. I cannot understand the reasoning behind that. I see a lot of people complaining about while the betas are perfectly working 😧. ---

Hmm, what barriers would there be to delivering translation updates to the stable branch @techAPJ? ---

Mainly cause we have not figured out a clean process for this. I agree though we should if possible backport translations, the tricky thing though is that “meaning” may change across releases and sometimes we are not careful enough about creating new keys. So for example, stable may have: ```plaintext en: keyname: 200 ``` beta may have ```plaintext en: keyname: title: 200 spelled_out: two hundred ``` This kind of change can not be backported. ---

Is understandable , but moving to beta branch the it translation of to main buttons to start a topic is still missing :facepalm: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/a/aae2f884ddcd0bc9ed1093decd2505f9de3f1635.png) ---

Where is that? We shouldn’t be attempting to translate `lang.undefined`. ---

I tried another discourse italian forum, the result is the same. ☹ ---

The “New Topic” button looks fine here on meta. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/8/3821555dc674a83e3de187d5778124e3642d6f9d.png) Looks like you’re using a customization to add icons and a second button (the one with the envelope). Take a look at those. Maybe there’s a problem with them… Clicking the search options doesn’t work for languages where the search help isn’t translated yet. The fallback to English doesn’t work. This is a known problem: > [@Search help doesn't work for some locales](https://meta.discourse.org/t/search-help-doesnt-work-for-some-locales/31350): > > Continuing the discussion from [Search help doesn't work in RU locale](https://meta.discourse.org/t/search-help-doesnt-work-in-ru-locale/23354/5): The same happens to me when I use DE locale, then the help button from the search doesn’t work. When I switch over to EN locale it works flawless. Any ideas how to fix that? Do I have to translate something? ---

> [@gerhard](#): > > Looks like you’re using a customization to add icons and a second button (the one with the envelope). Take a look at those. Maybe there’s a problem with them… We use 2 new bottoms (before New Topic botton) and other customizations to add fontawesome icons. I have deactivated all the customizations but nothing’s change. The second botton (the envelope) it’s not a customization. Since I can remember it is appears on stable branch when we lost the translation (many months ago) and still remained when we switched to the beta branch yesterday… > [@gerhard](#): > > Clicking the search options doesn’t work for languages where the search help isn’t translated yet.

Well, there’s an Italian translation for “New Topic” in beta, it’s been there [since November 2014](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blame/beta/config/locales/client.it.yml#L888) and it works here on meta. > Do you have any plugins installed? Try disabling them. I’m quite confident that it’s either a plugin or a site customization that is causing this. ---

> [@gerhard](#): > > Do you have any plugins installed? Try disabling them. Actually the plugins are: - alert - checklist - pm bottom (maybe this is the reason for the 2nd botton after New Topic?) - Spoiler Alert! - discourse-tagging - docker-manager - lazyYT - poll - trout\_emoji - vb\_emoji - solved plugin In the next days we will try to disable them, thanks. ---

The problem was PM button plugin. Now the translation is correct. Thanks @gerhard 👍 ---
