@W0nderRed could you give a bit more context. Are you saying that ‘pips’ in English isn't translated properly into German or the other way round? In general you should give both the English and translation when there are problems, and say where in the site you see it: e.g. what page on the website, which category in the blocks, There are tens of thousands of words in the Scratch system. It's not possible to find a particular word without a few more clues.

Hey folks, just a friendly reminder that this thread is a place to report bugs in the Scratch translation to other languages. Please try to stay on topic, and include enough detail that someone who doesn't speak the other language can find the problem.
Thanks

On the explore page, when there are populair projects, they duplacate in differant spots. You could see it around 2 to 4 times. I think it should be just 1. Please fix this bug, glitch, or anything this is. Other people have told me about it in the past. Thank you.

Description of the problem: With the selected Spanish language, when you exit Scratch at offline installer 3.3.0, a window in English language is displayed. The text of the entire closing window “Leave Scratch? / Any unsaved changes will be lost / Stay / Leave” should be replaced to its correct translation in Spanish “¿Salir de Scratch? / Se perderá cualquier cambio no guardado / Cancelar / Salir”

Hey folks, this thread is for reporting problems with translations, not bugs in Scratch in general - there are other places for that.

@CompuSanjo translations in the editor are not published to the site (or Desktop version) until they have been reviewed. The Spanish translations for those phrases are waiting to be reviewed.

@Dreche thanks for reporting the issue.

Yes, but the strange thing is that the translation of “Load from your computer”, was correctly translated in previous versions of the Scratch offline editor. Is there any way to help to speed up the translation process regarding Spanish? Thank you!

@CompuSanjo sometimes we need to make a change in the code (e.g. changing where it's defined so that it can be shared by other code components) that makes the text appear to be a new string. The translation will automatically translate anything that is a 100% match with a previous text string, but it still needs to be reviewed by a person to make sure it isn't being used in a new context that would require a different translation. That can lead to something that was translated getting ‘untranslated’

Description of the problem: If I switch the language in the editor to german, some blocks on the left side aren't translated. “Switch to german” means in deatail, if you switch in the editor the language or if you click on “see inside” in mystuff. If you drag the block out, it's german

English version of translation(s): (Every block where it happens):
change [color v] effect by (25)

set [color v] effect to (0)

I hope I'm right here.

My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.14.2, Chrome 67.0.3396.99, Flash 32.0 (release 0)

I guess German is not working well.

@carbuncle2011 what version of the editor are you using? Those look like Scratch 2.0 blocks, while the Scratch 2.0 offline editor still works if you already had it downloaded we are NOT updating it, so if the translation was incomplete it will always be that way.

When I switch the Scratch 3 editor to German, all the blocks are translated for me. If you need a version that works offline, you should download the new Scratch 3 Desktop version: https://scratch.mit.edu/download
It is also completely translated in German.

@Scratch—Cat thanks for the report. The user profile is part of the older version of the website and it's not translated into all languages.
