Translations not saving

[x97wehner 42]

If I try and make a translation change of any sort, it doesn't work. Sometimes it shows in the translation mod UI, and sometimes not. I haven't found a pattern there. The only constant is that after clearing cache and reloading the affected web site pages, the translations are not taking. I check the translation file on the backend and it doesn't have my modifications included either.

Anyone else having the same behavior?

I haven’t on 1.08 or BE.  Maybe check the file permissions in the backend.

To make sure, are you aware of where the translations files save? If so, can you check the actual file to see if it saves in the file. I have seen this before on a couple of shops where the server is setup to not revalidate in opcache, causing it to load cached data for the translation, even though the change has actually saved.

If you referring to theme module translations, there is a known bug.

I've committed a fix for that, but its only partial fix.

Whats actually happening now is that the page shows the theme modules translations but when saving it saves it to the default theme instead.

If you are referring to other type of translation (not modules) than please explain exactly whats your issue with

I'm referring to the UI within thirtybees back office. If I make adjustments to translations there, they do not save to a translations file as they should on a regular basis. For instance, if I pick @datakick's revws module, and attempt to modify core translations, via the UI, they will not save.

@lesley, yes, I'm aware. I've been able to open the translation files via ftp and attempt to do some of them, but I don't have the GUID's for each field to do them all. If I modify the actual file, via ftp, the translations take fine. It seems to be some issue in saving the file edits from the back office.

I noticed this today.

I had to revert to a backup of the db but I doubt it's the problem.

I noticed few strings that I'm pretty sure were translated and when I click save nothing happens, the page reloads with normal success text and the translation is not saved.

Tried disabling all caches, etc... Noting helped UNTIL I remembered the recent fix in template compilation.

Please can somebody make a info text there saying " "Please enable Force compilation" when you make manual changes to the templates or translations through BO". This will help lot of merchants I think.
