It's really off-putting how some people translate some things literally instead of looking at the context, or when the English word is too much integrated in the translated language, but they still insist it should be "translated". (like.. spoilers!! PERFECTLY FINE IN DUTCH TYVM)
Like "Source Key" for adding youtube videos, is now translated to "Bronsleutel" in Dutch (source = bron, key = sleutel....). Seriously, like anyone would know what that means... in Dutch.... LOL. o.o I've now changed it to Video ID :')
THANKS for considering if this is possible _^
And recently I changed every translated ("u/uw", formal) back to ("je/jouw/etc etc".,informal) after discussion that that was the way too go for TMDb, and now it's back to that ugly old formal speak aagaaaaaain.
And... App directory is translated as App inhoudsopgave (like... the page that indicates in what page a chapter begins in a book ROFL) To be fair, I don't know a proper translation that cover the app directory, but it definitely isn't this.... I'm deleting it~.

And a question for @Travis; Where is "Back to home" used on the site? I'm having difficulty translating it properly without knowing how it's used (Now you Dutchies, don't go say: "Terug naar huis" or i'll kick you back home -quasi sarcastic-)
And some others

Adding commentaries and/or screenshots to the next batches of strings giving the context of each string would really help, or just giving them meaningful names, don't call it just "show", but something like "season_regular_cast_show_more", "season_crew_show".
And while we are at it, maybe you already know this Travis, but there's strings that we can't translate yet, eg: genres, Original Language field, Content Score flavor text, Top Contributors section title, the new user and settings pages and the dropdown menu when you click on your avatar.

@alltimemarr Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Locale supports locking translations. I'll email them and see what they say. I'm limited to whatever they support.
With regards to context, a lot of this is my fault because I didn't organize it very well when I started it. I just started working on the new accounts stuff and you'll see it's nicely keyed as "accounts" and then has proper sub-sections and the like. The whole thing should have been this way from the beginning but now moving things around is basically impossible. It was a lack of understanding/experience when I started the Locale project.
It's not anymore, I think it was used on an older page that isn't there anymore. Copy does have a tendency to change from time to time.
@RubeensVinicius Which ones of these do you mean?
These ones I know about:

@travisbell Well, the genres are translated, my bad.
About the Original Language thing, I should have been more specific. It's about the languages: English, Japanese, Italian, French. We can't translate them.

@alltimemarr Locale support replied to me and said they'll see if they can add field locking. It is not a supported feature right now but he's optimistic it's a small enough feature to add quickly.

I'm still not done. I got through about 75% today. I'll work on finishing it up on Monday.

Oh, sure. So, Monday, while you are at it, could you separate the strings for Popular and Top Rated of the Movies and TV Shows submenus on the header? These words have different grammatical gender in my language. And for some reason these menus only are uppercase in English. Is this intended?

on jūlijs 31, 2017 at 12:20 PM
They are only uppercase in English because of some issues with the font and some of its uppercase characters. I'm not sure I'll even keep them uppercase in English, now that you have reminded me about that.
Re: extra strings, so you want some explicit keys like this?

Yup, just a way to use different translations for each submenu like you did with these last two strings, but both of them would be just "Top Rated" of course.

Ok, I got through the ones I know about. I haven't added languages yet.
With regards to the navigation, I have added a new translation object called navigation, which expands all of the items found in the nav. You can customize them as needed now.

Thx dude, this solved my problem with the header menu.
Now, if you can take one last look at the translations, check this Imgur album. This is every untranslatable thing that I could find besides the documentation, forums and about pages.

I've been working through these as I find time, one that I wanted to mention was the "relative dates/times" used everywhere. Those are from the library that I use called timeago.
