Description

As always only the translatable part should appear for translators to avoid issues.

I came across this one:

<span class="meta-nav">Published in</span><br><span class="post-title">%title</span>

Thanks for the report, @Presskopp!

It looks like there's been quite a bit of discussion about the best approach for this issue, shared in Twenty Nineteen GitHub repo, on top of https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/issues/725 shared above:

@kjellr or @allancole -- I'm definitely not up to date where this ended up in Twenty Nineteen. Is there a particular direction that was decided on for HTML in strings marked for translation? From my read it sounds like it may make sense to keep the HTML in some cases, but I could be wrong!

It seems like this one could be a bit too involved for 5.0.3, so punting to 5.1.

That's my understanding here too, but I'd defer to the i18n experts.

Regarding @mukesh27's patch above, @grapplerulrich noted that this may not work because some languages may need to have this string rearranged to say "Title published in".

Punting this issue for now, as we figure out exactly what strings need to be updated.

#11 @SergeyBiryukov

Just noting the string in question is not much different from similar "Published in" strings in Twenty Fourteen, Fifteen, and Sixteen, so the issue is not unique to Twenty Nineteen.

This still needs work and has not been touched since being punted to 5.2. Moving to Future Release until someone is able to work on this.

use the string with the line break for all attachment pages in Twenty Nineteen

HTML in a string is sometimes necessary for more accurate translations; [55655] specifically created two of them. Some languages add the title before "Published in" in at least one of the bundled themes. And Kurdish (Kurmanji) includes text outside of either span tag:
<span class="meta-nav">Di nav</span><br><span class="post-title">%title</span> de hate weşandin

However, I do not like having two different translations for the parent post link, depending on whether the attachment is an image or another type. Both Twenty Nineteen and Twenty Twenty-One have multiple translations, and the styling breaks, too. 45473.1.patch reuses the same string for non-image attachments in Twenty Nineteen, adding the br tag.

Using 'Published in %s' for non-image attachment pages in Twenty Twenty-One might require editing both the single.php template and twenty_twenty_one_entry_meta_footer(). That could be addressed on another ticket.

I do not find much value in changing the other three themes now. Twenty Fourteen is also inconsistent for different attachment types, though without broken styling. Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Sixteen have consistent links for any attachment type, and the strings are even identical between both of those themes.
