    @a_5mith That's what I understood more or less. "Forking" is obviously a term introduced in the programming world, and like most of the programming terms, Italian and many other languages lack proper counterparts. Was surprised that Turkish had a word for it "Ayir".

    Maybe there's a counterpart not sounding weird, which is "To duplicate", or in Italian "Duplica" (as in "Successfully duplicated topic! Click here to go to the duplicated topic"). Can you confirm this is a good replacement?

    @x01dev Not really, because you're not duplicating the topic. You're taking off topic posts from one topic, and forming a new topic with those off topic posts. I'm not entirely sure that Fork is the correct term to be used here:

    >"Fork" in the meaning of "to divide in branches, go separate ways" has been used as early as the 14th century.[2] In the software environment, the term "fork" entered computing jargon around 1969 with the Unix mechanism by which a process split in two by forming an identical copy of itself.

    Forking a topic here doesn't create an identical copy, it's a split, other forum software uses "split".

      Perfect. Thank. Now I understood.

      Update 00:05 : Italian is completed.

        We've had some really great contributions to our language files since we started supporting translations in NodeBB core, although keeping up with the changes has been quite hard. Specifically:

        • There was never really any way to check if any changes were out of date, except trying out every page of NodeBB in a new language and looking for incorrect language tags
        • When a language tag was missing, the system ended up showing the unattractive "code" behind the tag, instead of a sensible fallback like English

        To that end, we've registered NodeBB as a project on Transifex! Using a web site like this will allow us to see at a glance how complete each language is, and allow translators to quickly see which strings need translating, and which do not.

          Hello $myvariable would be in my case danish :

          Godag $myvariable

          ??

            Yes. Compare translations in another language to see what is kept and what isn't 🙂

              I would like to translate NodeBB, buy the website "Transifex" is really slow.

              Is there any other way to do so?

                              @Jenkler when we modify a couple phrases, they show you the old translation, right? Hopefully you don't have to translate it from blank each time 😬

                                @julian yep, we don't translate from blank, only modified phrases (sometimes if modification phrase is small transifex show old translation as a tip)

                                  We've had some really great contributions to our language files since we started supporting translations in NodeBB core, although keeping up with the changes has been quite hard. Specifically:

                                  • There was never really any way to check if any changes were out of date, except trying out every page of NodeBB in a new language and looking for incorrect language tags
                                  • When a language tag was missing, the system ended up showing the unattractive "code" behind the tag, instead of a sensible fallback like English

                                  To that end, we've registered NodeBB as a project on Transifex! Using a web site like this will allow us to see at a glance how complete each language is, and allow translators to quickly see which strings need translating, and which do not.

                                    Ok, good to know. Occasionally we tweak little things like grammar or wording, and it's a relief to know that the translators don't have to start from scratch for those phrases 😅

                                      I noticed that some modals are using hardcoded strings in v1.1.2. Is it still the same in newer versions?

                                          @pichalite It could be problem with Persona theme. I'm using version 1.1.2, files I had in mind are located in [nodebb install directory]/public/templates/partials/modals, but I can't seem to find them on Github. I've fixed it on my side but I would also like to contribute these fixes to public repository if they weren't fixed already.
