Localization problem

Uwo222777

View - Project - Project Panel. In the panel that opens, the word “Workspace” remains untranslated (01a). If you click “Workspace” and select “Find in projects” in the drop-down menu (at the very bottom), a search window opens, where there are simultaneously items in English and in the localization language (01b).
The same problem occurs when switching to other localizations (I checked 3 languages).

@Uwo222777 ,

So I concur on the Workspace label.

But with some of the mixed ones, it might be a matter of needing to restart Notepad++ after you change localizations, because when I restarted with that localization selected, the Find in Projects dialog had the proper localization on all its labels, instead of mixed:

That sounds familiar to me, but searching through the active and historic issues for ‘localization’, I am not seeing anything that jumps out as describing this problem.

So the workaround is to just exit Notepad++ and restart, after you set the localization. But for a long-term fix, someone would need to create a new issue (or be better than searching/skimming than me, and upvote the existing issue).

As far as the Workspace being wrong: it appears that it’s supposed to use the Item id="0" text

… which seems to be defined in other localizations as well:

So that looks like a separate bug, to me.

Again, someone would need to create a separate issue for that one (assuming it doesn’t exist already)

Our bug report FAQ explains how one would go about searching for existing issues, and creating new issues if they don’t exist.

Thank you for the recommended actions. True, the result for some reason is not stable.
I use my own version of localization (but not the one that comes “bundled” with the Notepad++ release).
In my version, initially everything was as you advised: <Item id=“0” name=“Рабочая область”/>
If you switch localization, for example: to English and then to Russian, then most often you can see a localized search window. But, after restarting Notepad++, two languages are consistently present in the search window. And this effect is repeated very steadily.
The screenshot shows a fragment of the language file that was there before I noticed the problem.

Not for me. It probably has something to do with your custom localization. Are you sure that your localization has all the fields that the most recent official localizations do? Because if any of those are missing, then it will default to the English terms for those fields. (The Find in Projects entries are in another location of the file, not in the <ProjectManager> section, so I’d look for those values, to make sure your localization has those defined.)
