TC10.50b3x64: Wrong strings used for "Extra drive space"

[yong]

I reported a few days ago that wrong strings are shown for the "Extra drive space" option in configuration - icons if the language is set to Chinese, but I couldn't remember the steps to reproduce the problem and I thought that the issue had gone but actually it hasn't.

Now that I have found the same problem is TC10.50b3 x64 and these are the steps to reproduce it:

1. Change TC's language to English if it is not already, then close TC;
2. Start TC, open Configuration dialog, click Icons to check every option is properly displayed in English;
3. Click Language and select Simplified Chinese, then click Apply without closing the dialog box;
3. Click Icons - the third item from the top of the list, now everything is in Chinese - to show the settings for icons in Chinese, and strings for "Extra space" are incorrectly shown in the place for "H" and "V", as seen in the screenshot: https://ibb.co/4Zk6m5j

As a comparison, here is a screenshot for the same configuration page on TC10.50b3 x86: https://ibb.co/VCb1ZSK

I have checked my Chinese language file - which I am updating - and have found no conflict in the strings.
Here are the strings for the new "Extra drive space" options in TC 10.50:

Code: Select all

2108="横:"
2109="竖:"

and strings for the "Extra space" options:

Code: Select all

5317="图标间距: 水平(&H):"
5318="垂直(&I):"

Note:
1. In step 1, the language can be set to another language, for instance, German.
2. In order to reproduce the problem, Chinese language file must be installed. The current beta version has language files from TC 10.00 which don't have the new strings for TC 10.50, the above strings 2108 and 2109 should be manually added to WCMD_CHN.LNG.

This happens because currently only English and German have been adapted to Total Commander 10.50. I will contact the translators once there are (most problably) no more changes to the translation. Otherwise it would be annoying for the translators to get changed strings every week or two.

That is not true - I have added strings 2108 and 2109 to my Danish language file, but if I do as yong describes:
1. Change TC's language to English if it is not already, then close TC;
2. Start TC, open Configuration dialog, click Icons to check every option is properly displayed in English;
3. Click Language and select Danish, then click Apply without closing the dialog box;

then I see that strings 5317 and 5318 are used for the "Extra drive space" V and H options. If I close the configuration dialog and open it again, the correst strings are now used

I now know why I hit this problem: I was trying to add new strings to the language file and the spaces for H and V labels were unfortunately too small to hold the string, so I had to switch back and forth between the icons and language page to find a suitable translation, and then there is this bug. One issue leads to another.

Thanks, it happens with German too only after 'Apply'. I will check it.
