[wp-forums] en_GB - Incorrect Translations reporting 4.0-alpha

[Stephen Edgar]

Jan,

Thanks though in the immediate case of the topic I am requesting to be reopened I would say no.

I am more than managing the information flow in that topic and am aware of  each user's ability, if they need further assistance after posting to that thread and feel uncomfortable editing core files I will guide them to create a new topic and assist them further on a case by case basis.

Thus far for the past ~3 weeks I have managed and supported this issue of incorrect translations reporting as 4.0-alpha, moderators jumping in and stomping this conversation now is not helpful for anyone involved.

p.s The following codex article I find a much better resource to link to when suggesting a user manually reinstalls WordPress via FTP, it clearly outlines each process step by step and highlights the issues to watch out:  http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended


Cheers,

I've not tried (or had this issue and only had one cup of coffee) but from that topic:

With the updated (fixed) language pack wouldn't the manual update to 
3.9.1 work and possibly be a safer thing to do?

http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

Some users may have an issue with editing files. It's not a big file to 
edit but manually updating to 3.9.1 and then getting the fixed language 
pack may be easier to support.

Thanks,

Jan Dembowski
