Polls 3.1: Options with quotation marks are not shown translated

[spreeni151]

After updating from NC20 to 21 and upgrading polls to 3.1 there are problems with the translations of the app. Some options are shown in English, most others in system's language (German).
I recognized, that all parts that are shown in Englich contain quotation marks like 'Allow "Maybe" vote' . So I thought if there could be a syntax conflict with the translation files of the l10n folder, which also use quotation marks. If it's so we could easyly avoid this by using '-marks instead of "-marks.

Nextcloud 21.0.4
Polls 3.1
PHP 7.4
MariaBD 10.5
Apache Server

in config.php used localize params:

'default_phone_region' => 'DE', 'force_language' => 'de', 'default_language' => 'de', 'default_locale' => 'de_DE',

@Valdnet Do you mind, to check this?

I just found out that this is an issue with the 3.1 version of polls. I compared it with version 3.0, which shows all parts of the text translated correctly. Perhaps this information will help to find the problem.

In the German (de) translation, not all text strings are translated, therefore some text strings (including those mentioned in issue) in the application may appear in English.

@spreeni151 If you change 'default_language' => 'de' to 'default_language' => 'de_DE' you should get the german translation.

@rakekniven Twenty text strings are not translated for German in (de) for Polls. Can you check and supplement if not a problem 😉.

Hello all,

the "de" version is the informal version of german. The de_DE version is formal and this this version is translated and checked with care and attention.
The informal version does not get the same attention. There are not enough volunteers to take care of the project on a continuous basis.

Just did a quick search at Transifx. See https://www.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/translate/#de/forms/317253354?q=reviewed%3Ano

Currently all strings are translated for "de". Maybe this hasn't been the case at the date the last release was done.
So the next release should be fully translated.

This is polls, not forms. ;-)

[rakekniven]

You are absolutely right.

Current numbers for polls:

@rakekniven Thanks for checking and explaining 😉.

the "de" version is the informal version of german. The de_DE version is formal and this this version is translated and checked with care and attention.

@spreeni151 The only thing left for you to do is change the language to 'default_language' => 'de_DE'. This will be the best solution for you as there may also be incomplete translations in other applications.

Translation for de and DE_de completed and reviewed.

[spreeni151]

Thank you for your answers, you all do a great job! :-)
I changed 'default_language' to de_DE and the 'force_language' parameter as well. Now Nextcloud is talking a bit different to me, a bit too polite ;-) but polls' translations are shown correct now. It's a bit funny that the 3.0 version could handle the 'de' language version better, that led me on the wrong track.
So, thank you!

Now Nextcloud is talking a bit different to me, a bit too polite ;-)
