How to fix translations & locale issues?

[Deleted User]

I added Finnish language to my Vanilla installation, and there are a few issues.

First, the Facebook login box is scrambled, because the text is too long. Where can I change this?

Second problem I noticed is with the breadcrumb navigation, where the Scandic letters are not rendered correctly (Syöte becomes Syöte) I saw this in some other places as well, but could not find it right now. I wonder if this is encoding issue, as the ä's and ö's are displayed ok elsewhere (as you can see in the screenshot).

For the facebook button I guess you would have to make some CSS adjustments. The CSSEditor allows to easily toy around with, though you need some basic CSS knowledge.

I tried to recreate that profile problem, but whenver I look at the breadcrumbs of an user the order is Home \ User Name \ Activity, Discussions etc.

In your screenshot I would assume it translates to Home \ Profile \ User Name. Which page exactly are you looking at?

I thought I could make a shorter translation for the Facebook button. But I'm not sure where to do this?

The profile locale problem appears at Home › Profile › Activity or mydomain.com/forum/profile/username

Thanks for your reply :)

You can create a locale file in a theme or plugin to override a specific translation string.

Thanks charrondev, I'll try that.

Could the ä and ö problem be because of the locale file site_core.php has garbled Scandinavian letters as well:

$Definition['%1$s was removed from the %2$s %3$s and added to the %4$s %5$s.'] = '%1$s poistettiin kohteesta %2$s %3$s ja lisättiin kohteeseen %4$s %5$s. ';

$Definition['%1$s wrote on %4$s %5$s.'] = '%1$s kirjoitti %4$s %5$s.';

$Definition['%3$s approved %2$s membership application.'] = '%3$s hyväksyi jäsenen %2$s rekisteröitymisen.';
