Follow-up to #1804688: Download and import interface translations → . See comment #99 also.

Problem/Motivation

admin/config/regional/translate/import
has help text For situations where translations need to be manually imported, this page imports the translated strings contained in a Gettext Portable Object (.po) file, which can be downloaded from the Drupal translation server.
and in #1804702-81: Display interface translation status → @Sutharsan mentions

Re. rewording: I have avoided using "the community translation server". l.d.o is the default translation server but can be replaced for example in case of distributions which have their own server. And l.d.o calls itself "Drupal Translations" Perhaps better to call it "Drupal translations website" instead of "... server".

There are other pages that also use "Drupal translation server" as well.

We should focus on UI strings and not the use of "translation server" in the comments and code.

Proposed resolution

Use "Drupal translations website" instead of "Drupal translation server" in UI strings and text files (e.g. INSTALL.txt)

Remaining tasks

  • (done) Write patch to make that change.
  • (done) Review patch.

Files that need changing:

  • For installation process:
    • core/INSTALL.txt
    • core/includes/install.core.inc (for installation process)
  • Import UI translations:
    • core/modules/locale/locale.module
    • core/modules/locale/locale.install

User interface changes

Yes, changes to user interface text, this is a ui issue, see above.

Pages that have UI change:

  • installation process
  • admin/config/regional/translate/import
  • admin/config/regional/translate/settings

API changes

No API changes anticipated.

    (Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
