translation of single words - zelpi - 2025-03-11
Is it possible to change the translation of single words, that appear e.g. in the overview of a Jellyfin movie page?
The word "tag" has a German translation, that imo doesn't fit.

"Edit Metadata" for the movie/show/episode and you can change the overview.

Maybe I expressed myself in a confusing way. I don't mean the fields that need to be filled in, but the name that is above them - e.g. the word "Tags" (not the tags themselves).
RE: translation of single words - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-11
I'm assuming you mean this?
It looks like it already has a translation?

And it should be called here to retrieve the translation based on your display language.

Not entirely sure what is going on if the rest of your UI is properly translated to German.

Ok, so it's the de.json - but I can't find it in the local Jellyfin folders.
I would replace for "Tags" the German word "Markierungen" with the imo better translation "Schlagworte".

You could also submit a PR to change the translation.
