Mastodon: I18N: Hardcoded "!" after "TOOT" button text probably not a good idea

Created on 28 Apr 2017  ·  2Comments  ·  Source: tootsuite/mastodon

The compose_form.publish key in JSX translations define the text to be used for the TOOT button, but apparently the control is not always on the translators' side: in zh-cn.jsx I placed a fullwidth exclamation mark (correct for Chinese) after the translation, only to find the text now followed by two exclamation marks !!. This should probably get a change somehow.


  • I didn't perform careful searching.
  • I am seeing this on mstdn.io, which should be running the 1.3.0 tag.

This isn't a very good way to mark toot visiblity anyway. Right now, private/direct toots show a lock icon on the toot button - how about generalize this indication, with a distinct icon for each level of visibility, displayed on the button no matter which is active?
