Hey.

I’m having difficulties in editing the language string ‘replies’. I can’t seem to find the right string to edit, or it’s somehow gone. I’m referring to the ‘replies’ which appears in the notification area when a user receives a private message.

 ![Screenshot%20(81)_LI](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/2/a2fbd5230bc52a034f0d670cec7983f1482b3e02.jpeg)

Ideas? 🕶

That should be `embed.replies` – I recommend you translate it on [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/). That way it will be translated for everyone.

Thank you. I did try to edit this string but it didn’t work, still doesn’t. 😕

I can’t find the ‘embed.replies’ string on Transifex as well.

I’m guessing we are talking about Arabic? If so, here’s a direct link: [https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/translate/#ar/core-server-yml/140679227?q=key%3Aembed.replies](https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/translate/#ar/core-server-yml/140679227?q=key%3Aembed.replies)

Otherwise change the language on Transifex accordingly.

Oh my:

This is so hacky, we got to clean this up and do the localization using these guys:

And stop using a “pretend” username which is broken when you switch locales (cause its baked into the notification)

@gerhard can you clean this up and do the localization here instead:
