False positive "Mismatched full stop"

[buhtz]

Hello,

I am project maintainer and using Codeberg's Weblate (v 5.14) instance for translation.

In the last weeks I have several false positive checks. One example is this about "Mismatched full stop", but both strings does have a full stop at their end.

Do you have any idea what it could be? Do I misuse something. Or is it a server configuration that could have been changed (I am not the server admin).

Or might this be a bug in a new version? I am not aware when Codeborg made the last update.

Regards,
Christian

I doubt that this check was changed recently anyhow, so the version should not matter.

I've added this to our tests in #17041, but it works as expected, so I don't have much idea what could have gone wrong. Is Codeberg using some modifications to Weblate?

Thanks for your reply.
I re-post the question to https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/2231 and linked this one.

@nijel Codeberg has no modifications to any of the translation logic or checks. (all our applied changes are visible here https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-Infrastructure/weblate-docker/src/branch/main/patches)

The issue linked by @buhtz has a report now for this also appearing on hosted weblate: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/2231#issuecomment-8566008

@Bubu Let's make these patches not necessary :-).

• feat(versions): correctly report redict server version #17112
• feat(vcs): make API timeout configurable #17113

Amazing! Thank you :).

(I wanted to upstream these for a while but then didn't have enough time and never got around to it...)

There is still one left, but it needs some generalization to allow configuring avatar URLS.

As for this issue, I've discovered a root cause, let's track it as #17128.
