Great update, congratulations!

I haven't experienced any major problems so far, I do have two translation related questions, and one cosmetic bug related one:

1-) How can I translate this area? I can't find that in the Phrases, couldn't find it in any other area of the settings.

2-) WPForo seems to have only one word "Reply" for these two strings:

This happens of course because in English it's the same word when you say "1 reply" and when you just want to say: "Reply" but in Spanish you cannot use the same word for those two sentences, I don't see a way to create a different translation, anyway I translate it then it sounds silly, in Spanish the first string needs to be "1 respuesta" while the second needs to be just "Responder" o "Responda".

Is there a way I could fix this?

3-) I also have a small bug when I contract replies the icon on the left is broken, and the caption for "Show Replies" is cut out and doesn't totally show, I know this is cosmetic, but I'm not too good at CSS and don't have an idea how to fix it. most likely I know this is probably a theme conflict:

If you want to see the examples above live just go to https://deepinenespañol.org/comunidad/aplicaciones-y-mas/docker-instalacion-error-usr-bin-add-apt-repository-line-95-in/ Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

1-) Go to phrases and add new.

2-) No. I translated them as two different words. You should change the "%s Reply" (no:675) for the first one.

Hmmm not sure about what you mean here, could you please elaborate a little more?

@spider thanks a lot, how could I have forgotten about "Add New" option in phrases! I will do just that.

Thanks a lot in advance.

These phrases should be translated using these phrases:

  • %s replies
  • %s reply

@robert hmmm I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can only change those strings editing one that changes both instances, check my screenshots. It should say "Responder" in the first string, the second is alright. both strings change at the same time, I can't seem to edit each by itself.

 

For some reason I can only find one string that modifies those two instances and it is this one that contains no %s on it:

 

Not sure what' I'm doing wrong, when I go and edit the ones you suggested in your reply then it has no effect for me in this area, maybe I Have added a wrong phrase myself that messed it up? not sure.

@realact just search for "Respuesta" on phrases. I think you will find two strings. One of them is what you wanna change. Try to translate them one by one.

It may be %s answer instead of %s Reply.
