Preface

This issue was shared on the Moodle Dev Chat on Telegram/Matrix.

With the help of Marina Glancy and Andrew Lyons, Andrew found the problem.

Context

Inside the editor_tiny, menu options are translatable.

Problem

There are some strings, like those related to "Heading X", are not translated. Curiously, the first one "Paragraph" is properly translated.

Proposal/Solution

Andrew found that the problem are the whitespaces after ";" on the defined strings in https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/main/lib/editor/tiny/amd/src/editor.js#L271C1-L272C1.

So, currently, the string definition on the Javascript file is like block_formats: 'Paragraph=p; Heading 3=h3; Heading 4=h4; Heading 5=h5; Heading 6=h6; Preformatted=pre',. According to the problem definition, the system currently is asking for the string " Heading 3" and so on, and not "Heading 3". And this is the reason for not being translated.

Considerations

Personally, I would propose to look for other similar strings being translated, too, just in case Moodle is not suffering from the same issue on other places.
