Topic on Help talk:CirrusSearch

An issue caused by improper tag pairing of ref and translate tags caused an incomplete display of the German translation.

At least the German translation is broken: It has as of now 14 sections, the english one has 16; in German the English sections 7 and 8 are totally missing, the sections for Page weighting and Regular expression searches – and I know the are translated, because I was the one, who did the most of it. The Filters section in German has only 2 subsections, in English there are 7. (Edit: Oh, in fact parts of the Regular expressions section are present, but displayed as part of the Filters section.) So I assume somewhere in or after the second Filters subsection (Deepcategory) is a missing or misplaced <translate> tag (or maybe vice versa somewhere before is one too much).

FWIW the translation has been broken with this edit: Special:Diff/2780543/2787288 on 21 May 2018, but before this the latest update for translation has been on 27 December 2017, hence some-when in this period the mistake(s) must have been occurred.

Can you provide some samples of where this is happening, please?

Sorry, but I do not understand what you want from me. What kind of samples? Or: What do you not get from my first message? Simply compare the content overview from Help:CirrusSearch with Help:CirrusSearch/de, especially in section Filters (or Filter in German). Note also that section Geo Search is the ninth in English, but in the moment the seventh in German (as Geosuche). Regarding my edit above: In German in the moment the section 6.2.1 belongs actually to Regex searches, in English this is in fact section 8.2 – looking more carefully shows that already some lines before 6.2.1 do not belong to section 6.2: Everything starting from the box is for RegEx (you can see this string in the box).

Updating Translations:Help:CirrusSearch/438/de may help.

I actually noted the error message I got in German help version, but thought this would just be caused by a translation change (this happened before, too). Because of the bigger issue I didn’t want to start with a new translation, though. I've now taken a look into the English text at this passage and decided to make a cleaner approach: Special:Diff/2883110/2887712. Please, mark someone the English text for translation, so we can see whether this was the reason for the mess.

If so, this edit broke everything: Special:Diff/2704479/2714274. I just rearranged the tags to the state before this.

Y Done

Thanks, Wargo. This was indeed the reason. Sorry at all for the big noise.
