Incomplete translations

[Zachar]

Some strings from Transifex are not getting imported to Plex apps. Below I pointed specific places where it is visible for each one. Everything is translated in Transifex. In my case, it’s about Polish language but others may be affected too.

Plex Media Server
Some translations, modified even few months ago, are not present in the final app. For example “Recently Released Movies” which I changed 6 months ago is not reflected on current home screen.

Plex Web
Podcasts and parts of TIDAL are in English.

Plex for Android
Online Sources and TIDAL are not translated.

I’ll be very grateful if you could fix this. Thank you very much for a great software.

@drzoidberg33 - I hope you are well and I’m not bothering you too much. Maybe you can forward this to proper places. Thank you in advance.

@Zachar The Plex Media Server translations will be updated in the next release (1.19.5) - there may still be some strings that need translating though which won’t make it in there yet but will in another follow up release.

As for the the Plex online sources on Android I’ve pinged the team about this so hopefully those will get updated soon without you having to do anything.

Thanks for the ping on this.

Server strings imported fine but Online Sources still seem to be not included. I suspect Plex team is adding all those translations manuallly. Do you think this could be automated so you wouldn’t have to be bothered every time? Thanks.

@drzoidberg33 Hi again. Is there any chance for Online Sources to be included finally? I translate a lot of things there and it is very discouraging to see all this work just sitting there unused. Thank you for understanding.

I hope I’m not going to be banned for tagging all of you but I can’t seem to find any other effective way of reaching someone from Plex.

I want to stress out that translations are done free of charge by volunteers and potentially bring more customers to Plex. In that situation, I think it would be appropriate to at least inform that something won’t be included. It takes tens or more hours of work to get this done right.

Please, improve your ways of handling the translations and communicating with translators. It also seems that nobody from Plex is keeping an eye on discussions in Transifex. There are dissapointed community members who just stopped working on it because their input was ignored and never imported. This lasts years now.

Thank you for understading and have a nice day ahead.

Just to be clear what I’m talking about for 6 months now. The strings for apps below are still not imported from Transifex.

Plex Web

Plex for Android
Online Sources and TIDAL are not translated.
