The translated page shows error to me: Could you have a look please? "$formula-title" shows correct on translation module ja, however it;

  • displays on the Help page in ja as; ページに数式を新たに追加するには、挿入したい場所にカーソルを置き、ツールバーの「挿入」メニュー上の「⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽」アイコン(「Σ」)をクリックします。
  • I expect to see 数式 instead of ⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽.

If the code was broken, it'd appear broken in English as well, AFAIK? So: either the translations are featuring an old one that has in the meantime been replaced, or there's been some mistake in the tagging process that, if resolved and page was remarked for translation, would probably fix the issue?

I see. So it means;

  1. nothing to do with double-byte languages like ja, ko, and zh? They show the same error.
  2. how a translator know what is causing such display error?
  3. can I leave as is and maybe it will be mended someday with a bot or auto-updated?

On translation.net, as a translator, it is not accessible if there had been any update in the source which is not sorted out nor flagged with system message noting “there is outdated string for update” or such; in this case, the particular source in Translation.../ja does not show it has been updated to date.

The message is now math-visualeditor-mwmathdialog-title not math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title (and has been for a while). I think the translation is out of date. I null edited the page, purged it, remarked it for translation, and re-confirmed the Japanese translation of unit 198, and now it appears correctly. Sorry for this!
