Apologies for the long wait, Joost. The best would be to ensure that the
string is correctly translated on Launchpad as that is where Mahara will
get its translations from. If the updated string doesn't propagate from
trunk to older versions, then those older versions would need to be
updated manually. I *think* that only non translated strings will get
added to older versions but not already translated ones, but it would be
good for a translator to confirm the correct behaviour.

Title:
  Replace newer versions of translated strings in language pack

Status in Mahara:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Mahara 22.04.2 (and above)

  This is an improvement to the current Language updater feature in
  Mahara, solving the following issue:

  When a previously untranslated string has been translated, this
  becomes part of the language pack that can be updated through the
  Development > Languages feature. This is a good thing...

  However, when an already translated string in a language pack is
  updated by a translator, this doesn't affect the implemented language
  pack in the Mahara instance.

  An example:
  The English switchbox On/Off has been translated (incorrectly) in Dutch to 
Op/Uit where Aan/Uit was expected. Even after updating the Dutch language pack 
to fix this error, the original translated string persists in de Mahara 
instance.

  Expected behaviour:
  If a string in the language pack is updated, this update should also be 
visible in the Mahara instances using that language pack, through either manual 
or automatic updates.

  The current 'expected' solution to this: uninstall the language pack
  with the error and reinstall the language pack by pulling it from the
  repository. This is labor intensive and not always possible.
