A user failed to enable GPS tracks display, because he didn't find the button. The reason? It is called [object Object].

I've just set my language to russian (this is a language triggered issue) and it is working fine so I think this must have happened during the brief period when we were using the broken en_US locale as the fallback in Potlatch 2.

We're using the (working) en_GB locale now so I don't think this will be happening anymore.

Today this bug was reported by another user (see screenshot). Did that "brief period of using broken locale" happen again? I can ask the user to gather any info you need.

I observe the same problem. I have set the locale to "de_DE" explicitly, but P2 remains in English and the [Object] shows.

P2 and locales were freshly updated from randomdev and show g106bbd1.

I have the same problem. OSM site shows me GUI in Russian, but Potlatch 2 is in English and shows [object Object] instead of GPX traces.

I've added cache expiry headers for osm.org potlatch2 instance as I suspect old locally cached locale files may be causing this bug.

Now to see if it helps...

I'm going to make this more obvious in order to help people searching trac, so I've updated the summary.

There is a problem with the internationalisation in p2, where it doesn't work for some people. Internally, p2 thinks the locale is loaded, when actually it's not.

We don't know what causes this. We don't know how to fix it. We don't know how to recreate it. So far nobody has stepped forward to help pin down exactly what combination of browser / operating system / locale / browser locale / whatever leads it to happen.
