Error in translation string

    Hi BuddyPilot team,

    I noticed a translation issue in BuddyPilot Withdrawal 1.0.17.

    In templates/form/step-confirm.php, the confirmation text now uses the pluralized strings with the %d placeholder:

    “I confirm my withdrawal of the contract for the selected items. I understand that the seller will have %d day/days to refund the amount paid, provided that payment has been made.”

    However, the bundled Italian translation file still appears to contain the older hardcoded version with “14 days” instead of the new %d day / %d days plural strings.

    As a result, the Italian translation is not applied on the withdrawal confirmation step, and that sentence is displayed in English while the rest of the page is translated correctly.

    I fixed it locally by regenerating the .po/.mo files from the updated .pot and adding the missing Italian plural forms.

    Could you please update the bundled translations catalog in the next release?

    Thanks.

    Hi Christian, and thanks for the detailed report.

    You are right. The Italian strings showing in English were the ones added in the recent releases (1.0.16 to 1.0.18), including the new delivery and refund sentences. The Italian translation bundled with the plugin had not been refreshed for those strings, so they fell back to English.

    This is fixed in the upcoming 1.0.19. The bundled Italian translation (and other languages as well) has been brought fully up to date, so all current strings (including the refund and delivery wording) are translated again. We have also set up a process to keep the bundled translations in sync on every release, so it will not drift like this again.

    A quick note on how loading works: the plugin uses the official translation from translate.wordpress.org first when that language pack is installed, and falls back to the file bundled with the plugin otherwise. We have refreshed that bundled fallback, and the community translations on translate.wordpress.org are being topped up as well.

    Please update to 1.0.19 once it is available and the English strings should be translated. If you still spot anything untranslated after updating, reply with the exact text and I will take care of it. If you would like to help refine the Italian wording, you can suggest changes at translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypilot-withdrawal/.

    Thanks again for taking the time to report this.
