Users report that customizing translation strings for the tag selector (e.g., changing “all tags”) has no effect, even after site updates — suggesting it’s not a cache issue. dax notes this may occur when no translation exists on Transifex, referencing prior threads. david questions whether this is a bug, and sam confirms support for fixing any missed strings, adding the pr-welcome tag. david clarifies the issue isn’t limited to plugins — even core strings (like those in cakeday or other plugins) fail to update via the admin panel, despite English fallbacks working as expected. sam points out that tags are core functionality, not plugin-based. david acknowledges the distinction but suggests the issues may be related, and asks whether to move the discussion to a new topic or create one himself. sam encourages him to create a new topic.
when i change the text in the tag-selector from “all tags” to the string i want, it remains unaffected:
it shouldn’t be cache issue, since i’ve just updated the site.
update: i just checked and it seems this happens for some other strings related to “tags” feature.
It seems you cannot change text if there is no translation on Transifex.

Is there any plan to fix this bug?
If we missed a string somewhere totally support fixing it
Added pr-welcome
I don’t think a missing string is the issue.
As an example: if I have a plugin which only has english language translations, and somebody installs it on a french forum, the english strings will be used (this makes sense).
However, if the forum owner goes into the admin panel and tries to update the translation string, that change has no effect.

Tags, however, is rolled into core, there is no plugin involved
Ah I see, not exactly the same issue then (although seems related).
Can a moderator move the last few posts into a new bugs topic? Or shall I just make a new one myself?
Feel free to make a new one
