Bug: German (de) translations contain wrong/empty strings for security menu items

Bug description

Bug: German (de) translations contain wrong/empty strings for security menu items

Superset version: 6.1

Component: i18n / Translations (German)

Description

Several German translation entries in
superset/translations/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po are incorrect or empty,
causing wrong labels to appear in the UI when BABEL_DEFAULT_LOCALE = "de".

msgid	current msgstr	correct msgstr
List Users	Zahl aufteilen	Benutzer auflisten
List Groups	Zahl aufteilen	Gruppen auflisten
List Roles	(empty)	Rollen auflisten
Themes	Zeit	Themes

The string "Zahl aufteilen" means "Split number" in German and is
clearly a copy-paste error from an unrelated translation entry.

Steps to reproduce

1. Deploy Superset with BABEL_DEFAULT_LOCALE = "de" (or browser language de)
2. Navigate to Settings → Security
3. Observe the menu items "List Users", "List Groups", "List Roles"

Expected behavior

Correct German labels are shown for the security menu items.

Actual behavior

"Zahl aufteilen" ("Split number") is shown instead of the correct translations.
"List Roles" falls back to the English label because msgstr is empty.
"Themes" shows "Zeit" ("Time") instead.

Fix

Correct the msgstr values in
superset/translations/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po:

msgid "List Users"
msgstr "Benutzer auflisten"

msgid "List Groups"
msgstr "Gruppen auflisten"

msgid "List Roles"
msgstr "Rollen auflisten"

msgid "Themes"
msgstr "Themes"

I can confirm this bug. Looking at the current superset/translations/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po file:

• "List Users" is indeed translated as "Zahl aufteilen" and is marked as fuzzy [1]
• "List Roles" has an empty msgstr [2]

The "Zahl aufteilen" value is clearly a copy-paste error from an unrelated entry. The fix you've proposed with the corrected msgstr values looks correct. A PR updating these entries (and removing the fuzzy flag on "List Users") would resolve this.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Would you have any interest in opening a PR to fix them, perchance? I've labeled it as good first issue in case anyone does.

Hi! I’d be happy to open a PR for this. I’m new to contributing to Superset, but this looks like a good first issue. I can update the German translations, remove the incorrect fuzzy entry if needed, and submit a PR. @rusackas
