Prefix [English] before untranslatable titles

[JustCarmen]

Many modules have the text [English:] in front of the module title ánd description. I think you mean that these modules are only available in English, which isn't quite true.

Maybe, I need to explain how I manage to provide the module information. For all modules, which are not installed, I cannot retrieve the module data from the modules themselves. Therefore, I generated a list of module names, title, and descriptions of all supported modules and stored it in a JSON string:
https://github.com/Jefferson49/CustomModuleManager/blob/main/src/Configuration/DefaultTitlesAndDescriptions.php

I can generate this JSON string on one of my webtrees installations, where all supported modules are installed.

At the moment, I only created the JSON list based on the English titles and descriptions. A first try to extract all languages failed, since the JSON created errors. I might rework on this later.

As long as I only have the English titles and descriptions, I decided to add this "[English:]" prefix

I'll come back to this a little bit more.

I understand this decision for modules that are not yet installed. Although I find it unnecessary myself, but tastes differ.

But for modules already installed, I really don't understand this. I never translate the titles of my own modules. These are not really translatable into Dutch. I just checked for Fancy Imagebar. And at least in German, Italian, French and Swedish the title of the module is not translated and remains just Fancy Imagebar. So I find this addition to installed modules superfluous and it also makes the list very cluttered.

Perhaps you could reconsider this for a next release.

Hi Carmen,

thank you for your detailed feedback. I agree that the "[English:]" prefix makes the list very cluttered. However, I have not found a good solution yet.

The root cause of this issue is that I18N:translate does not tell me whether I get a "real translation" or it simply returns the English default text. Even if a module is installed and I ask the modules about its title, I do not know whether it returns a real translation or an English default text.

I see 2 solutions:

1. Do not show the "[English:]" prefix for titles at all. Maybe, I could show the prefix for descriptions only.
2. Write some alternative language class with an improved behavior in comparison to I18N. From a first view at the code this would be feasible without too much effort.

Do you think that 1 (with less effort) would be acceptable?

I think no. 1 is acceptable. I understand that it takes less effort, and I think showing the prefix before descriptions is more meaningful than showing it before titles.
