String extraction for Transifex cannot handle linebreaks and tabs

[raimund-schluessler]

With nextcloud/tasks#1124 we put another argument in the argument list of the Nextcloud translate function t and we made the code better readable by inserting line breaks like so:

Before:

check.msg = this.$t('tasks', 'The name "{calendar}" is already used.', { calendar: name })

After:

check.msg = this.$t(
    'tasks',
    'The name "{calendar}" is already used.',
    { calendar: name },
    undefined,
    { sanitize: false, escape: false }
)

After merging the pull request, all strings to translate from the lines affected by this change were removed from Transifex, see nextcloud/tasks@bfc245f. I haven't figured out what cause the issue, if it is the linebreak of the other argument.

I don't really know who to ask to check whether the string extraction from Transifex works correctly and can handle linebreaks, so I am gonna ping @ChristophWurst, since you worked on the translation in #20976 🙈

I will check whether removing the linebreaks might solve the issue.

Workaround is to remove linebreaks and tabs from the argument list of the translate function t, applied with nextcloud/tasks#1148 (see nextcloud/tasks@51e2ce8 that the translations came back afterwards).

Yeah, sorry, this logic is a bit fragile. We've all run into this at some point or another 😉

I suppose this issue is still valid?

Yes.

Hi, please update to 24.0.9 or better 25.0.3 and report back if it fixes the issue. Thank you!

My goal is to add a label like e.g. 25-feedback to this ticket of an up-to-date major Nextcloud version where the bug could be reproduced. However this is not going to work without your help. So thanks for all your effort!

If you don't manage to reproduce the issue in time and the issue gets closed but you can reproduce the issue afterwards, feel free to create a new bug report with up-to-date information by following this link: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2C0.+Needs+triage&template=BUG_REPORT.yml&title=%5BBug%5D%3A+
