Once again I stumbled upon texts of Tikis admin GUI had resisted being translated, and later I found that nonprinting characters were hardcoded that will block tra() or tr() from pattern matching. Even spaces can block a translation. I won't make new bug reports for those, but rather use this one as sort of an umbrella bug report which I will amend with comments.
So the first new occurency of nonprinting characters that block translations is found on line 130 of /lib/prefs/tracker.php:
'description' => tr("Require users to fill in a tracker form if not done already by prompting them with a modal dialog "),
Those two spaces (yes, two, not one or three...) may look like a little glitch from a dev's perspective, but since they do not print, you cannot translate this string by copy & pasting from the GUI into custom.php giving a translation: The pattern matching cannot find it. There is a workaround, but this may not be so easy for translators with little experience and with small toolboxes (Windows comes with FAR less useful tools for this than Linux...), since if you encounter those, you have to grep through the entirety (!) of Tiki source code to find the origin of the string, to be able to look at it's source code, to be able to copy & paste from there...
The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://hman-11504-7443.show2.tiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://hman-11504-7443.show2.tiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://hman-11504-7443.show2.tiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
Create new snapshotTo help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show.tikiwiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show.tikiwiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show.tikiwiki.org.
