Text on web site during update of plugins and at login page is always in english

[dragy]

Hello

during maintenance mode when updating plugins, text on web page is always in english. The text is "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.".

Also text on login page is in english "Username or Email, Password, Remember Me, Log In, Lost your password" etc.

After login text is in set language (set by Settings - General - Page language).

Let me know if I can debug this more somehow.

Hello,
Thanks for this ticket, and I agree with you.
But as these strings are correctly internationalized, I think the issue is surely more difficult to solve than we can think at a glance…

<?php _e( 'Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.' ); ?>

Edit: This is probably because the WordPress bootstrap is not loaded at this time, or this kind of problem in any case. Not sure this can be solved easily :\

Hi @dragy, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

I can't reproduce the issue on a localized install, both the "Briefly unavailable" message and the login form are displayed in Russian for me, as expected.

Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Seventeen) activated? Which locale are you using?

[audrasjb]

Ok, sorry for my comment, this is definitely working as expected… if you downloaded WordPress in your locale of course :)

Example with fr_FR locale:

Ok, login's english is from "All In One WP Security" plugin. How can I debug maintenance text more? Can via some URL show it for testing?

thanks

Hi,

This plugin is not translated in every locales so that's probably why you get english strings by default. Note that it can not be your only untranslated plugin.

You can move to translate.wordpress.org and then start to translate it's strings in you locale.
You should also start by learning more about the translation at ​https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

Anyway, I had made a false diagnosis at glance: it is not the fault of WordPress core :)

thanks

I was able to reproduce the issue by using an English package and choosing Slovak during install, rather than the Slovak package.

It's the same issue as in #30049: wp_load_translations_early() does not work if neither WPLANG nor $wp_local_package are defined.
