Confirmed.

ANBO Motohiko 2013-07-07T16:56:39Z

As of 1.6.1, "Scanning for games on your local network" is translated.

As of 1.6.2pre, "Polling..." ,"Can't reach server" and maybe "Communication error" are not translated.
(en_US.lang doesn't have these entries.)

Meta 2013-07-09T18:02:36Z

I can confirm what ANBO Motohiko said

ANBO Motohiko 2013-07-11T10:52:36Z

Another screenshots (confirmed on 1.6.2 release server/client). Also untranslatable:

Tooltip for status: '(no connection)'
'Outdated server!' (in the case of server:1.6.1, client:1.6.2)
'Server closed' (when the server is shut downed.)
'Illegal position' (When a player goes further than 32,000,000 blocks. This occurs not only on multiplayer but also singleplayer.)

@Ezekiel What can I do for it? I don't have any rights to update info, so may I clone this issue?

Itouch2 2014-02-23T12:06:20Z

Still in 08a

I've added screens made in 1.7.5. And all the same for S14w08a.

Capopanzone 2014-04-13T12:37:25Z

I've added a screen of the hardcore game over menu.

I'd love to see this fixed as soon as possible. We should be able to translate everything!

Capopanzone 2014-04-13T14:32:34Z

I've added other three screenshots: in the twitch server list, "(preferred)", "(default)" and "kbps" can't be translated; in the new 1.7.6 streaming start confirmation screen, the main text can't be transalted; the new 1.7.6 server resource pack button can't be translated. It's a shame having a half translatable game.

Capopanzone 2014-04-13T22:09:01Z

F3+H detailed tooltips (tool durability, map info) can't be translated as well.

Capopanzone 2014-06-16T08:54:01Z

The message on the "buy a Realm" screen can't be translated.

I'd suggest to change the title to "Some messages can't be translated".

Capopanzone 2014-08-19T17:31:12Z

Superflat presets nanes can't be translated (customized ones are translatable). Still a (big IMO) issue in 14w34c...

kumasasa 2014-08-25T20:35:52Z

Superflat presets nanes are available now, see MC-46341

Bentroen 2014-09-01T22:42:13Z

The "Down!" message in the Twitch servers are also not translated.

marcono1234 2014-09-21T12:54:43Z

Confirmed for

1.8 also for the "Back" when you are using an outdated Minecraft Version

Bentroen 2014-11-07T17:50:20Z

The "... and X more ..." text in the Multiplayer screen!

marcono1234 2015-09-11T14:54:12Z

Confirmed for

15w37a for the incompatible client message when clicking on "Minecraft Realms" with a snapshot version

marcono1234 2016-03-19T14:02:49Z

Please include "... and X more ..." (player preview) in the multiplayer screen (see @unknown's comment)

Roy Sajima 2016-08-24T04:56:46Z

Confirmed for 16w33a

user-f2760 2016-08-24T08:26:26Z

Removed screenshots that were supposed to be in MC-46341, as well as the twitch server screenshot (as twitch support is removed).

Capopanzone 2016-11-04T20:09:49Z

Still in 16w44a.

Muhammet Kurt 2017-05-07T13:18:37Z

Another not translated message :
Server out of date!

Capopanzone 2017-05-16T13:36:06Z

Still in 1.12 pre-2

Capopanzone 2017-05-29T13:56:54Z

Partially fixed in 1.12-pre6: only game messages were made available, the hardcoded Realms strings are still hardcoded

Oval 2018-09-17T17:08:38Z

"Realms News" is translated for 1.13.1.

"(no connection)" is translated for 1.13.1.

"Incompatible client" message is translated for 1.13.1. (tested with 18w33a)

Hi Adrian,

I don't know why I have received your mail ? [JIRA] Mises à jour de MC-18060 : Missing translation for some multiplayer server connection / Realms messages

Kind Regard, Vincent

@@unknown, Adrian updated the report and set a priority. If you don't want to be informed about further updates to this report, please click the "Stop watching this issue" link in the top right corner.

Vincent PARISOT 2020-04-29T19:10:56Z

Hi Marcono1234, well get it, but thinks something else happen .. .

Capopanzone 2020-04-29T20:04:41Z

A few more untranslatable strings:

"Banned by an operator." (default ban reason shown when trying to enter a server from which you were banned)
"%s minutes ago", "%s days ago" (shown in Realms in a bunch of different menus, such as invites, backups, and backup restore confirmation - "%s hours ago" might exist but I haven't seen it during my Realms trial)
"%s player", "%s-%s players", "%s+ players" (shown in Realms in the minigame selection screen)
"Info!" and "Warning!" (shown in Realms in a bunch of different confirmation screens, such as restoring a backup or leaving a realm)
"Minigame" (shown in Realms in the world slot used to select a minigame)
"Backup" (shown in Realms as the name of each backup in the "World backups" screen)
"Enabled Packs", "Seed", "Game Server Version", "Game Difficulty" (and maybe more too, shown in Realms by going to "World backups", then pressing the little + button on a backup)

Avoma 2022-01-15T13:50:55Z

Can confirm in 1.18.1.

Avoma 2022-02-26T12:49:12Z

Would it be okay if I can request ownership of this ticket?

This issue has changed substantially as time has gone by, and some of the currently provided details in this report are incorrect and outdated. I'm willing to update and refine this ticket to include all of the necessary information, such as listing all of the new strings of text this issue affects and where they can be seen throughout the game.

The current reporter has been inactive since June of 2019, and I'm inclined to update and shed some additional light on this issue, with the new information I've gathered through looking at decompiled versions of the game's code and researching the affected strings on the official Minecraft crowdin project. Thank you 🙂

Avoma 2022-03-13T10:02:22Z

This comment by @unknown states that characters that represent icons should not be translated, so I've removed all of the "▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▃" and related strings from this ticket for this reason and also for documentation purposes. Additionally, the resolution of MC-248840 implies that characters/symbols used for loading animations should not be translatable.

user-f2760 2022-06-18T15:48:12Z

^ you forgot to remove some, the dots for downloading and uploading.

Avoma 2022-06-18T16:15:51Z

@unknown, I've intentionally left them in since some languages translate symbols differently. For example, take the "options.controls" translatable text component which reads "Controls..." in English (US), and "按鍵設定⋯⋯" in Chinese Traditional, Hong Kong. As you can see the periods/full stops used within the Chinese Traditional, Hong Kong translation are completely different from the ones used in the English (US) translation. With string like "▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▃" however, it's different because these characters are meant to represent icons, unlike the dot symbols.

user-f2760 2022-06-18T16:48:53Z

The thing is, they're used as loading symbols here, like the blocks, and not as punctuation like the controls string.
You said it yourself:

Additionally, the resolution of MC-248840 implies that characters/symbols used for loading animations should not be translatable.

They're used as loading animation.

Avoma 2022-06-18T17:03:15Z

Ahhh I see. I forgot that they were used for a loading animation; I overlooked this. I've edited this report accordingly; thank you! 😃

[Mod] turbo 2023-03-06T22:35:49Z

Can confirm in 1.19.4 Pre-release 3; relates to REALMS-1130.

Avoma 2023-05-05T15:40:12Z

Updated this ticket to purely mention the realms strings since these were the only strings that were fixed in throughout this bug report. The untranslatable multiplayer strings are now being tracked separately at MC-262370.
