The Bug:
The "/" symbol that exists between the value of the current and total characters within the "Report Chat" menu is untranslatable and is missing a translation key.
This is a problem because every other string throughout the game that contains the "/" symbol is translatable, therefore introducing an inconsistency. Below, I've constructed a table to visually demonstrate how and why this is a valid internationalization issue and to show the inconsistency.
Translation Key | String | Context | Is the "/" symbol translatable? |
---|---|---|---|
item.minecraft.bundle.fullness | %s/%s | This string is used within bundle tooltips to show the fullness of a bundle. | Yes |
filled_map.level | (Level %s/%s) | This string is used within filled map tooltips to show the level of a filled map. | Yes |
item.durability | Durability: %s / %s | This string is used within item tooltips to show the durability of an item. | Yes |
sleep.players_sleeping | %s/%s players sleeping | This string is displayed within the action bar to show how many players are currently sleeping. | Yes |
N/A | %s/%s | This string is used within the "Report Chat" menu to show how many characters are currently present and the maximum number of them that are allowed. | No |
Steps to Reproduce:
- Attempt to search for the existence of this string by using this search filter on the official Minecraft crowdin project.
- Take note as to whether or not the page indicator symbol within the recipe book GUI is untranslatable.
Observed Behavior:
The character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu is untranslatable.
Expected Behavior:
The character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu would be translatable.
Code Analysis:
Code analysis by Avoma can be found below.
The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 22w24a using Mojang mappings.
public class MultiLineEditBox extends AbstractScrollWidget { ... protected void renderDecorations(PoseStack poseStack) { super.renderDecorations(poseStack); if (this.textField.hasCharacterLimit()) { int n = this.textField.characterLimit(); String string = this.textField.value().length() + "/" + n; MultiLineEditBox.drawString(poseStack, this.font, string, this.x + this.width - this.font.width(string), this.y + this.height + 4, 10526880); } } ...
If we look at the above class, we can see that the character indicator symbol within the "Report Chat" menu is hardcoded, and as a result, is untranslatable. This is evident through the following line of code:
String string = this.textField.value().length() + "/" + n;
