13 years ago asked a question translation works only partially in templates

With the new theme (don't know about the old one), translatable strings that are inside jinja macros appear in the language they were first requested after the server startup (it seems as if jinja optimizes/caches the contents of macros).

Possible fix is not to use translatable strings inside of macros.

Setup is apache+mod_wsgi, localization using the django built in LocaleMiddleware and independently when using django-localeurl.
13 years ago commented answer How to isolate non-English questions so that English users are not annoyed by foreign questions? Or I should deploy another askbot exclusively for a language?

If you use postgresql as database and set it up with C.UTF-8 as locale, real utf-8 full text search works. Perhaps you could mention this in the documentation.
13 years ago asked a question Why are ajax urls partly translated and partly not?

When testing askbot for use in a multi language setup, I saw that ajax URLs are also partly localized (for example the vote, read_message, upload named urls).

These URLs are also hardcoded in skins/default/templates/question/javascript.html in an "interesting" way.

Shouldn't all ajax/api URLs always be language independent?

13 years ago answered a question Social sharing buttons javascript bug

Detection of blocked pop-ups and fallback to open the link in the current window is now fixed in https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/commit/d39849bc2e73d1c9cdcb07b12fe6fdf6d562e582">git.

After looking at post.js a bit more it seems as the fallback is already implemented, but buggy: If the pop up window fails, it is tried to open the link in the current window, but the wrong variable is used.

Yes, a popup is indeed preferable... perhaps informing the user that the popup could not be opened, as clicking on the sharing buttons and nothing happens is bad behavior, I think.

Just looked at post.js myself: If you change the name of share_url to url, the sharing page opens in the current window if the popup cannot be opened.
