Can't translate <Any>

Probably it's a problem with a module that are not using the t() function with the "Any" string.

You have to localize the string in the code... or give us more clues :D

What modules are you using? Where/When appear the string?

Could you try yo use this?

&lt; instead of <
&gt; instead of >

&lt;Any&gt; instead of <Any>

I think that could be a problem with HTML filter.

This sounds like a bug with Views - why is it wrapping something in a pseudo-tag?

Moving away '<'/'>' from translated strings will help. I've made a patch for Views 6.x-2.2 to fix t() function calls with those pseudotags.

For me it's fine.

It's in a place where we're not placing HTML. Apparently locale can't tell the difference. :/

This patch completely fails my style check -- It conforms neither to the Drupal 6 nor Drupal 7 usage of the . operator. (I conform to the Drupal 7 use of the . operator and always have).

@merlinofchaos : I try to provide a patch, but something strange happened: some files I try to edit:

1. views_handler_filter.inc
2. admin.inc

Have a MAC lines encoding instead of UNIX, so my patch will interpret the whole file as changed.
The files that includes these "pseudotags" are:

1. views_handler_filter.inc
2. admin.inc
3. views_plugin_style.inc

all committed by you (the third file have a Windows line-endings) If out have a fix for this encoding issue I can provide a patch for these replacements:

t('<Any>') to '<'. t('Any') .'>'
t('<None>') to '<'. t('None') .'>'
t('<All>') to '<'. t('All') .'>'

Maybe you can find-replace these occurrences..

Regards

These pseudo-tags couldn't be translated neither using Drupal builtin translation tool or importing a .po file: pseudo-tags get removed and not inserted into translation table. Moving to Critical and to "User Interface".

Any help?

mh here i could create the patch without problems.

sure the wronge filendings has to be solved, but this should be in another issue.

Your patch fails on "includes/admin.inc" and in "hadlers/views_handler_filter.inc" (maybe for the MAC line-endings commented before)

Regards

I see no reason to bother. You can switch from <Any> to - Any - which *is* translatable in the settings. This doesn't affect existing installs.

Thx merlinofchaos for the tip. I just switched to "- Any -" via Views > Tools.

But why keep t('<Any>') in the code if it isn't translatable?

Well, ok, you got me on the useless t() call.

Patches accepted. This should be an easy one.

Here is a patch which changes the pot file too.

Fixed in all 6.x branches -- this appears to already be done in 7.x

are you sure it is fixed? I am running 6.x-2.8 and the issue persists...

forget about my previous post, I just found the answer here http://drupal.org/node/663156
sorry about the trouble

Same here, the problem still persists, and I've checked the option in Tools.

You cannot translate - Any - ?

I don't think so

Hi,

i've currently set the option in Views -> tools to "- Any -" but i still can't translate it

Edit: FIXED: apparently you must type exactly "- Any -" (case sensitive).

Closed thanks.

In file views_handler_filter.inc
Line 469 should be
$any_label = variable_get('views_exposed_filter_any_label', 'old_any') == 'old_any' ? t('<Any>') : t('- Any -');
instead of
$any_label = variable_get('views_exposed_filter_any_label', 'old_any') == 'old_any' ? '<Any>' : t('- Any -');

This change worked for me.

#27: thanks.

Sorry to re-open old stuff, but I still can't translate it.
Tried to convert from to - Any - , then went in translate interface, in "String contains" I put: Any, - Any -, etc. but always I get:

No strings found for your search.

"- Any -" guess? :)

If you set ''- Any -' for the any text you can find it.
Search for "Any" and you will find the string sooner or later.

Changing status.

john-foland:

Go to /admin/build/views/tools and the last item should be a configuration option where you can select '' or '- Any -'. Choose the latter if you wish it to be picked up by t() and translated.

The option is labeled thus: 'Label for "Any" value on optional single-select exposed filters :'

john-foland: Additionally, if you're attempting to translate it into French, "- Any -" isn't included in the translations file.

@tarmstrong provided a solution.

By default in view 6.x-2.12 there is no t() for "<Any>" in views_handler_filter.inc. By adding t() function there the issue will solve.
