  • Describe the issue you encountered:
    In Transifex the string Click here to view the release notes. is divided into 3 parts.
    Click, here and to view the release notes..
    In German this Sentence would naturally be translated to Hier klicken, um die Versionshighlights anzuzeigen,
    alternatively it could be translated to Klicken Sie hier, um die Versionshighlights anzuzeigen.
    Neither of those would work because of the way the string is split.
    Thechnically there is a workaround with Wenn Sie hier klicken, werden die Versionshighlights angezeigt (When you klick here, the release notes will be shown), but I bet this isn't possible in many other languages.

So my point is, the string shouldn't be split, because oftentimes grammar differs too much between languages for that to work.

  • Brave Version (revision SHA):
    0.14.2dev Preview 1

  • Steps to reproduce:

    1. Go to about:brave
    2. Look at strings 1083, 1084 and 1086 at Transifex

Hi, I have also noticed the same issue and reported here: #8162. I'm going to close the issue in favor of that, thanks.

Until the issue will be solved, I would let the strings unlocalized, which I do for Japanese language.
