String can't be translated

Those strings are in a theme function so they can be quite easily overridden if you need them translated immediately, but I'll fix it within the next few days.

Fixed in -dev in both branches.

I would guess this is some kind of caching problem--you may need to use Devel to flush all your caches. Also you might not be looking for the right thing. The original string was broken up into two strings.

If it's not either of those problems, I have no idea what it could be, and I can't fix it. I have never dealt with translations and to be honest I'm not really interested in learning how to deal with them. Of course I'll help as much as I can to fix it but unless your problem is mentioned above I need more information about what the problem actually is.

Assuming your problem is still with the same strings, this is what the related code looks like now:

function theme_facebook_status_item($account, $status_long, $status_short, $time) {
  if (variable_get('facebook_status_mode', 1)) {
    return '<span class="fbs_list_item" title="'. t('@username @status_long', array('@username' => $account->name, '@status_long' => $status_long, '!time' => $time)) .'">'.
      t('!user @status_short !time', array('@username' => $account->name, '@status_long' => $status_long, '!user' => theme('username', $account), '@status_short' => $status_short, '!time' => '<div class="submitted">'. $time .'</div>')) .'</span>';
  }
  else {
    return '<span class="fbs_list_item" title="'. t('@status_long', array('@username' => $account->name, '@status_long' => $status_long, '!time' => $time)) .'">'.
      t('!user @status_short !time', array('@username' => $account->name, '@status_long' => $status_long, '!user' => theme('username', $account), '@status_short' => $status_short, '!time' => '<div class="submitted">'. $time .'</div>')) .'</span>';
  }
}

...anyway, I imagine this is more a semantic problem, since there's not actually any language in the strings, just tokens.

Yeah... it's generally not a good idea to use things like   in translatable strings but what I can do is something like t(' !name', array('!name' => $xname)) if that works for you. And in the 2.x branch all of this will definitely be in a theme function.

I'll go ahead and make that change and commit a dev as soon as I can. Let me know if there are any other similar places you have trouble with.

Er. Marking as some sort of patch here even though there isn't so I remember to make this change.

Yeah... I was trying to remember why there was a hard-coded indent there, and couldn't... when I go to make the change I'll see what works best and I'll let you know.

Haha thanks. You actually can give the module five virtual stars if you are so inclined. :-)

Sounds good, thanks.

I hadn't thought of that. Do translations work module-by-module or does the system look for all translations over all modules that are available to it? I'll certainly reduce the ambiguity if the latter is the case.

Okay then. fbsname it is.

Committed to dev in both branches.

t('!fbsname', array('!fbsname' => $something));
