Small change in sp_ProfileShowSearchPosts for better translations

Hi,

translating the forum and its plugins I’ve found a couple of strings that there’s no way to translate in Italian in a nice way.

I’m speaking abount the 2 buttons inside a member profile:

– List topics John has posted to

– List topics John user started

theese two strings are divided in 3 pieces:

1) “list topics”
2) “display name”
3) “has posted to” or “user started”

Unfortunately translating in italian this structure in a nice way it’s impossibile.

I suggest you to change the function that produce that buttons to use a single string with a special char to replace the Display Name (I mean: “List Topics %1$s Has Posted To”).
So the whole string can be translated without being forced to leave the name in the middle of it.

I know it’s something small, but the result of that translated string looks too much “google translate” 😉

Sorry this has taken a while to respond to but we have been discussing it.

Clearly changing source text like this has a big effect on ALL languages and current translations so therefore spreads instantly to all non-English speaking users. So we do not make such changes lightly.

However – the point is taken and we will make this change but it will probably be in 5.2 – i.e., a major release as opposed to a minor update.
