Translate JIRA menu in JIRA Data Center

[Toomas Adson]

Hello

I need to change translation for the some menu options, because the existing translation (Estonian) is creating confusion with my clients. The word "issue" is translated as "probleem", but this has a bad subtext. Some othes menu itemas issue are ytranslated as Ülesande (task)" that is much better.  

So I need to put new translations for Issue menu items:

- Search issue

- Archive issue

Where are the translations stored? I did open the file jira-software-language-pack-et_EE-8.15.0.v20201203032600.zip   and went through the files, but could not find these translations? Are menu translations been stored somewhere else?

Thanks

Hi @Toomas Adson ,

I do not have the server instance available right now, but in the past we tried to translate transitions according to this guide: https://bormueller.com/2020/08/17/translate-transitions-in-jira/

The top menu translations should be located in the same file. Just please test it thoroughly before modifying anything on the production. We eventually gave up on that, as it broke couple of other translations for some reason and made Jira unreadable.
