      Issue Summary

      When a user add a comment to a page, the notification for affected user is translated wrong

      This issue appears on 6.15.9 as well as 7.3.3. There are translation issues with Notifications in German

      Steps to Reproduce

      The problem lies in two of the sentences display by the system when notifications are sent in Confluence.
      "1 Kommentar zu dies Seite"
      "testuserlb hat einen dies kommentiert"

      Which would roughly translate back to:
      "1 comment the this page" (not accurate)
      "testuserlb has commented a this"(not accurate)

      Expected Results

      The correct translation would be:
      "1 Kommentar zu dieser Seite" or "1 Kommentar auf dieser Seite"
      "testuserlb hat folgendes kommentiert" or "tesuserlb hat folgenden Kommentar hinzugefügt"

      Actual Results

      The translations are seen as below.

      "1 Kommentar zu dies Seite"
      "testuserlb hat einen dies kommentiert"

      which translates to

      "1 comment the this page" (not accurate)
      "testuserlb has commented a this"(not accurate)

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

            The following has been fixed:

            "testuserlb hat einen dies kommentiert"

            which translates to

            "testuserlb has commented a this"(not accurate)

             

            And the following string has also been fixed:

            "1 Kommentar zu dies Seite"

            which translates to

            "1 comment the this page" (not accurate)

             

            These changes will be available in the next release of Confluence DC 9.4, publicly available in April 2025.

            Hi Jorrit, I assume all these are caused by strings that are the result of 2 or more concatenated strings, however, I cannot even find these strings to see if there is any workaround possible, would the dev team kindly send us the variant keys for these? The ideal solution, of course, would be to stop concatenating them. thanks!
