German Translation for "End meeting for all" not working

[Daniel-at-git]

Description
Since Upgrade to 2.7.5 the German translation shows "End meeting for all" in the menu.

Tested on demo
Maybe it's related to #19232

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect to room
2. Switch to German
3. Go to the menu (right upper corner)
4. Take a look to the last line

Expected behavior
Line should be "Konferenz für alle beenden" as configured in
https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/v2.7.x-release/bigbluebutton-html5/public/locales/de.json#L460

Actual behavior
"End meeting for all" is displayed.

BBB version:
$ sudo bbb-conf --check | grep BigBlueButton
BigBlueButton Server 2.7.5 (579)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• Browser: Chrome
• Version: 122.0.6261.128

Good catch! It looks like the localization string is there in transifex.

We'll check that it propagates to the client in the next update.

Hi! This was handled via #19768 and #19771
Expect the translation as part of the next 2.7.x release likely later this month. Alternatively, pull de.json from https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/v2.7.x-release/bigbluebutton-html5/public/locales/de.json and replace your local de.json with it.

Thanks @antobinary for the hint. I replaced
/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser.legacy/app/locales/de.json
/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json
(and restarted bbb) but it still shows englisch text.

# md5sum /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser.legacy/app/locales/de.json /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json

I just did these steps on test27.bigbluebutton.org
I replaced
/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser.legacy/app/locales/de.json and
/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json with
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/v2.7.x-release/bigbluebutton-html5/public/locales/de.json

restated BBB
Created a meeting (my locale was already German as I tested before). I could see the English "End meeting for all".
I cleared browser cache and now I see it correctly in German.

[antobinary]

Please let me know if it worked correctly for you too. I am thinking of documenting this step.

[Daniel-at-git]

@antobinary cleaning the browser cache solved it :-D

#19798

[Daniel-at-git]

After one day everything is englisch now and didn't get it back. Also not in a private tab :-o
I went back to original 2.7.6 de.json. I need to clean the cache in the browser. Not a good option for all other normal users....

Hi @Daniel-at-git
Could you elaborate on what happened? I see https://groups.google.com/g/bigbluebutton-dev/c/Jx5kpDKb1Lg/m/tFjB8sYLAwAJ
If you're not able to patch this, let me know, I may be able to release 2.7.6 ~tomorrow with the correct localizations.

[Daniel-at-git]

@antobinary I patched it with your file from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/v2.7.x-release/bigbluebutton-html5/public/locales/de.json
and replaced both files
/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser.legacy/app/locales/de.json
/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json

AFAIK it has been (after restart and clear browser cache) working fine. One day later everything(!) is english.

So I replaced de.json with the original version from 2.7.5. It's working again if I clear my browser cache. My problem is: I can not tell all user to clear the browser cache. So I'm looking for a solution to force this from server side. AFAIK it would help if I modify the etag which is send in every HTTP answer.

A 2.7.6 can help for new etags also and all other German people would be happy too. So a new release would be great :-D

@Daniel-at-git 2.7.6 is out!
