We are using ACF Pro version 5.7.1

We noticed wrong Arabic translation in lang/acf-ar.po line 2300

#: includes/input.php:263
#, php-format
msgid "%d fields require attention"
msgstr "% d مجالات تحتاج إلى اهتمام"

where % d have space in between and it should be

#: includes/input.php:263
#, php-format
msgid "%d fields require attention"
msgstr "%d مجالات تحتاج إلى اهتمام"

Thanks

Actually going thru the file I found 7 “% d” in the translated section, it must be “%d”.

I have replaced all records in the PO file locally and compiled it to MO and got the desired result.

Thanks

Hi ahmader,

I currently have the same problem in French. Can you be more specific onto what you’ve changed / fixed?

Not to mention that the translation of “fields” is incorrect. The word fields has more than one meaning.

The word:
مجالات
means fields as in areas of interest or specialty.

In this context fields should be translated as:
حقول

@jvarn Hi! Since answering here, I’ve gotten the pro github access to be a French tranlsator. Maybe I can fix this issue (but only this once, since answering requests here is not my job). Since I don’t speak arabic and don’t know the syntax, I just want to make sure with you before making the change (and fixing the % d error mentioned along the way) :

%d fields require attention
is now
% d مجالات تحتاج إلى اهتمام
and would be more logical as
%d حقول تحتاج إلى اهتمام

Is this right?
