I also cannot create a new one, because it's the same word that already exists in with the string "reply"🤣. Yeah my head hurts trying to explain this.

I pasted a little table below where I try to explain what my particular issue is, which I believe is pretty similar to @adler11's issue.

Spanish

English

Outcome in Spanish

Just the word “Replies”

Just the word “Reply”

Responder

The act of “Replying to”

MISSING STRING

I will also be uploading it as a graphic, just in case. As you can see, the word "Reply" in English is used to #1 meaning the act of actually replying to someone or #2 just plain and simple the word "Reply". With just one word, you can express two different things. 

In Spanish and probably other languages, however, that is NOT the case. The ACT OF REPLYING TO someone or something utilizes yet another word.

To kind of solve the issue on my forum I have used the word "Respuesta" which means "Reply" in Spanish and sort of also implies "To Reply To" but it's not very natural or clear to the Spanish reader. To truly solve my issue with the right translation I would need yet another string which I could translate as "Responder" but I can't at the moment because that string doesn't exist.

Hopefully this helps clarify the issue and not bring more confusion into it.

Thanks taking the time of looking into this.

In line 104, please correct "1" to "2"! Then the problem with a single number of posts will disappear. I checked on myself. Works. See the screenshot:

Thank you for the answer! I did all this before asking for help, but the main problem was that the phrase change was happening in two places at the SAME time!!! First:

You can use (add if they don't exist) the following phrases, the value of these phrase can be changed by relocating the %s part, %s will show the number of replies:

  • Phrase key: %s Replies  | Phrase Value: Replies %s
  • Phrase key: %s Reply    | Phrase Value: Reply %s

 

They'll work fine in the upcoming version, because the two lines you've mentioned have been changed to one line:

<span class="wpf-post-replies-title"><?php ( (int) $reply_count > 1 ) ? printf( wpforo_phrase('%s Replies', false), wpforo_print_number($reply_count) ) : printf( wpforo_phrase('%s Reply', false), wpforo_print_number($reply_count) ); ?></span>
