Instead of concatenating bits and pieces of get text calls, you need to use sprintf features. That way, translation (and translators) will be able to translate respecting their own language structure.

<a href="admin.php?page=event_locales"> </a>

should be

&lt;?php printf(<strong>('You have not created any locales yet. To create Locales please visit %s page.', 'event_espresso'), '<a href="admin.php?page=event_locales">'.</strong>('Manage Locales/Regions', 'event_espresso').'</a>') ; ?&gt;

Can’t paste code. What am I supposed to do?

Original is in edit_venue.php:134

Same kind of error in gateway_developer.php:43 and template_files.php:100

&lt;?php printf(__(&#039;In order to use this this feature, you will need to move the files located in the %1$s directory into the %2$s directory.&#039;, &#039;event_espresso&#039;),&#039;<strong>'.EVENT_ESPRESSO_PLUGINFULLPATH.'gateways/</strong>','<strong>'.EVENT_ESPRESSO_GATEWAY_DIR.'</strong>'); ?&gt;

Huge one here. Even if this is suppose to be personalized, it should be formatted way better than this.

event-espresso/templates/alt_reg_page_display.php:27

event-espresso/templates/multi_registration_page_display.php:60

event-espresso/templates/multi_registration_page_display.php:33

          &lt;?php _e(&#039;Please <a href="contact" title="contact us">contact us</a> if you would like to know if spaces are still available.', 'event_espresso'); ?&gt;

The URL is hard coded. To prevent trouble

          &lt;?php printf(__(&#039;Please <a href="%s" title="contact us">contact us</a> if you would like to know if spaces are still available.', 'event_espresso'),get_permalink( $N ); /* where $N is the ID of your contact page */ ?&gt;

Gross error of gettext usage.

event-espresso/templates/alt_reg_page_display.php:41

event-espresso/templates/multi_registration_page_display.php:42

event-espresso/templates/registration_page_display.php:80 (less awful)

should be

file event-espresso/gateways/gateway_display.php:38

Multiple errors: must use printf with one gettext string containing substitution variables.
Use get_permalink() with your $org_options[‘return_url’] variable, plus the add_query_arg function to add arguments, will work no matter the permalink (might solve this: https://eventespresso.com/topic/wpml-and-espress/#post-18745)

Wish I could write the code.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the list, I will pass this onto the developers to look into.

Cheers,
