Strings are not automatically translated

[Barboocha]

Hi,

I have a problem with translation to Czech. Validation messages after submitting a new comment are not translated and I am not able to do that anywhere as you can see here: ​http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/5090457/eed10a634f3748b66ee0033cf88031f8

String should automatically be translated if my site language is set to Czech, right? However I just tested it and I can see it's not getting translated even when Czech is set as the site language.

I tried switching over to the default WordPress theme TwentyTwenty and the same thing happens here, so there must be something wrong with the translation.

Could you please help?

Thank you in advance.

Welcome on Trac @Barboocha. Thanks for opening this.

I've looked at the code for the string here ​http://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/src/wp-includes/comment.php at line 3503, and it is well escaped; meaning that this is not a bug.

It's still showing in English on your site because the translation for this particular string was not done in the version of WordPress you were using when you opened this ticket, 5.4.2.

The string is now translated (see ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/cs/default/?filters[term]=please+fill+the+required+fields) and will probably appears in Czech on your website in the future releases of WordPress.

Hmm, that translation was added 8 years ago, on 2012-01-24 22:05:37 GMT, and should be present in WordPress 5.4.2 (released two months ago), so I suspect something else might be at play here. I haven't tried to reproduce yet, though.

Oh my bad sorry.

On my side, I was able to reproduce the issue.

I've also tested on a ten or so locales with 5.4.2. In addition to the cs_CS locale, I've found that on uz_UZ locale also, this particular keep showing in English while it's translated on ​https://translate.wordpress.org. I assume there should be others locales with the same issue.

Unable to reproduce this.
