Content types are not translated in advanced search

Interesting, the hook_form_alter implementation is not noticeably different from the implementation in node_form_alter, which it replaces. Please try the attached patch.

committed to dev. Reopen if this issue persists after 6.x-1.7

The Patch works good!

But is not included in 6.16 version!

This has been committed into the dev branch, so is fixed but is simply not released.

I disagree with the approach for #1, which basically generate another string for translation.

The i18n module (the i18n content type sub module) have handled this issue in a better way, which is to create the node type name string in a separate text group, so it can be reused in many places. It also alters the Drupal default search form with the correct translation.

My patch will alter the search form in such a way that it just use what ever string values it passed within the form, so if it's translated already, it will not get overwritten here.

Closed because Drupal 6 is no longer supported. If the issue verifiably applies to later versions, please reopen with details and update the version.
