Hi,
There is a problem with the language files for languages different than English. For example, the string "Update Home" is not a single item in the language file but rather it is composed of two items - "Update" and "Home". But in Bulgarian for example the meaning of Update Home cannot be presented by putting together the Bulgarian translations of the words Update and Home. It is completely different expression and in the current implementation of the language files there is no way of correctly translating this.
The same goes for "Client Home" and other composite expressions.
Is it possible that you review the language files and set all kinds of such composite expressions to be single items in the language files? Like this:
$__description["update_home"] = array("Update Home");
$__description["client_home"] = array("Client Home");
I would also suggest instead of using a function for plurals, to use simply two items in the language file - one for the singular form and one for the plural (if there is a need for plural). This way you will make it easier for translations.
Thank you.
