Bad translations with separate words

No, I have a clean install and the translations are incorrect.

PO file:
1- All
2- Places

(Forced incorrect) Translation:
1- Todos
2- Lugares

“Todos Lugares” does not exist in Spanish (the same applies for any other language) “Todos los Lugares” is the correct translation and it cant be translated like that, because the strings “All” and “Places” are used in a lot of other places in the site.

Like this: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/translate-of-menu/

So if the theme displays “See All Places”, the translation PO file should have a string for “See All Places”, but it has 3 strings, “See”, “All” and “Places”, terribly wrong.

Thats what I need to fix.

Thanks.

I guess our translations are not meant for machine translations?

Actually you have it for machine translations and they are needed for humans that use real phrases, not phrases composed by several words like a machine will do.

Human: See All Places
Machine: I need 3 words = See, All and Places (I will make a phrase with this and no one will be able to translate it to another language never, because it will never makes sense and will sound like a machine incorrect translation with very bad grammar)

Makes sense?

I’ll ask Stiofan to have a look at your question.

Thank you.

Place.

That is used to see “place”, “place” categories, “place” tags, add “place”, etc…

So every single place in the plugin where that word “Place” is used, can’t be translated correctly.

Example:

English: Place Categories. (This applies for tags as well)

In other languages you say in the other way. “Categories for the Place”, using the word categories first.

So if you translate by separate words, it will never make sense. It will read something like “For The Categories Place”. Which is a mess.

As Place is used for “Add Place” as well, and you translated it for using it in the categories, it reads “For the Place Add”.

And so on, all the phrases made by mixing words instead of using real complete phrases, will never work translated, never.

The strings must be complete and for the correct usage, its imposible to translate something that use random words to create phrases.

So the PO file should have “Add Place”, “Place Category”, “Place Tags”, in singular and in plural and so on.

Thanks.

Cool, please let me know when its fixed and if a new .po file is available before a full update, please share.

Thanks.
