Cannot find any string to translate.

Aleksei

Hi!
I'd like to contribute to the Russian translation. There are some untraslated things as well as incorrect translations.

But I wanted to start with a suggestion. I would like to translate this item:

(It can be translated in a more compact way without loosing the meaning.)

But I just can't find it on the rtansifex.com. I used search field in many different ways but unsuccessful.

Could you, please, describe the process of searching for necessary strings to translate from the moment when I spotted it on the NodeBB forum till the next version release?
Or maybe there is a faster way to get translation done at a currenly running forum?

Hmm what did you try searching for?

@pitaj, the "posts" string which appears inside the categories for each topic:

@antosik thank you!
This wasn't easy to understand how to get to that string from the rtansifex.com home page, but now I got it.
Still have a couple of questions:

What system do you use to find specific strings for translation? Or you do it by memory, just because you know where the things are?
And vice versa: if I found an untranslated item, how can I refer to the page where it is located to see the context? Like this one, for example:

@aleksei

I navigated to the source code of a persona theme and found a place where this label is used (source code for example below)
As you see - there is system info on the right bottom side. Resource - global and key - posters. So you need to search for [[global:posters]] in the nodebb-theme-persona repository.

@antosik great, thank you!
