The newest Beta 1.3 is still a translation mess.  
This app is almost a year old, but there are still no updates on this.

When comes a translation update?

The translations are not up to date since months.

Hello!

We’ve been updating iOS and tvOS translations right before every submission to the App Store, so that sounds weird. Any specific translation you’re missing?

FYI there was a recent change in _some_ strings that has reverted previously translated strings 😖

Sure:

- I’m German, helped to translate nearly everything in the tvOS App in 2016
- on PMS 1.11.0.4666
- using the Plex Apple TV v. 1.21

Ok so the first 3 screenshots are from strings coming from Plex Media Server. To be honest, I don’t know what’s the policy of the server team to update translations, I’ll check with them.

The rest of the screenshots are the regressions I mentioned: some strings were “reset” for technical reasons. I see the German translation is finished in Transifex, so either the upcoming version or the next one will have those strings in it.

Thanks for reporting!

Sorry I don’t have control of PMS strings 😞

Which ones are untranslated on tvOS? The last update of strings for tvOS was made the 17th of January, anything translated since then is not included yet 😕

This string is not translated? Then something is broken in the way we get/update the strings from Transifex. We’ll take a look and make sure it’s fixed. Thanks for the heads up!

Finally got some time to look into this. The problem is the Top Shelf extension is like a different app, and needs to have the localized strings copied into it too. We’ll try to have it fixed for the next version, sorry for the inconvenience.

This still wasn‘t done.  
In the newest beta there are still wrong translations.  
E.g. I translated every „Episode“ to „Folge“ and of course these ones „S% • E%“ to „S% • F%“

Still „S% • E%“

@maxxitbaby from what I see it _should_ be there. But I also see in Transifex 2 different Germans :neutral: `de` and `de_DE`

Can you check in you Apple TV settings → General → Apple TV Language and see what you have exactly?

I guess you should have something like `Deutsch` or `Deutsch (Deutschland)`. Could you check if switching between those makes a difference? Just trying to diagnose the issue, then I’ll fix it because it should work regardless 😄

@maxxitbaby no need to check it, I finally found the reason. We have some instances of the same string that are not referencing the localized version 😱 😒

We’ll fix that soon. Thanks for finding and reporting it!

I’m afraid it’s not. It’s a much broader change than you could expect for a localization problem 😰 It will even require to retranslate it, but instead of having 2-3 of them there will be only 1.

I’ll let you know when the new strings are in Transifex so that you can get them ready for the next release 😄
