Some shortcut links not translated

Same here.
When I go to the part "translate interface", the string "Find content" is not found.
I've tried with the normal profile and the minimal profile -> same issue
I've tried to replace the $t() by st() in shortcut.install -> same issue
I'm disappointed! Has someone got an idea?

Shortcuts should not translatable in this way.

You can never find the string because SHORTCUT is manually edit. someone like to add "Find Content" as their link then "FJWIFEWI" in other language.

So, the problem is why "Add Content" is translated ??

That's because "Add Content" is linking to a page and that page title is also "Add Content", so Drupal think this is really "Add Content" than custom name.

"Find Content" is linking to a page named "Content" as title.

@daften,
yes. it's something wrong with design.
#549698: Prepare field label and description for DDT (translatable queries)

shortcuts works like menu (menu is also not transable), try i18n or custom modules.

I marked my issue #1052478: 'Find content' not translated in Content shortcut bar as a duplicate. I also have the problem of 'Find content' not being translated, but 'Add content' is translated. After droplet's explanation and link to the real issue, I understand why.

We still cannot translate the link "Find content" in toolsbar.
I just activated l10n_update, but no change for that link (D 7.12)

same problem here on version 7.15 too.
we tried to find this problem but nothing !

This is a workaround and doesn't make the "find content" item in the toolbar translatable.

Go to Administration => Configuration => User Interface => Shortcuts
Click on 'List Links' for the shorcut you wish to change and
edit the name of the link to what you want, i.c. 'Find Content' to your desired name

Why the other links are translated by default?
For example 'Add content' has translated after import .po file , but 'Find content' still not translated.

I found a possibility to solve this. Click on Edit shortcuts on the right. Click on Edit near the Find content link. Change in Content. Now it's translated correctly to the language you're working in.

The value 'Find content' is set in the .install file.
If you don't already have too much custom shortcuts set, you can disable Shortcut module, uninstall it, then enable it back (re-install). The text should now be translated.

I too came across this problem, what I ended up doing was modifying the core module to pass the link titles thru the t() function; then I could use the entity translation functions to translate the text as needed.

In modules/shortcut/shortcut.module.
Line 715 the function shortcut_toolbar_pre_render($toolbar)

Added code after the first line. As follows:

function shortcut_toolbar_pre_render($toolbar) {
  $links = shortcut_renderable_links();
  
  //NG. Pass the link titles thru the translation interface.
  foreach($links as $index => $value){
  	if(isset($value['#original_link'])){
  		$links[$index]['#title'] = t($links[$index]['#title']);
  	}
  }
....

Its not the nicest approach, but it works for me.
Im sure there must be a way to do a similar fix outside the core but I dont have time right now to try it. (Tried theme_menu_tree hook but that doesnt do what I want/need)

Alright well after thinking some more, I figured out a non-core-hack way of doing what I posted before.
Making use of the theme_menu_link hook.

If you just want to apply the translation to the default shortcut set (like me), you can make a very specific hook in your theme template because the default shortcut set has a set menu name 'shortcut-set-1'

//NG. Pass the link titles thru the translation interface.
function THEMENAME_menu_link__shortcut_set_1($link){	
	$link['element']['#title'] = t($link['element']['#title']);
	
	return theme_menu_link($link); //now run it thru the normal processor.
}

I just encountered the same problem again.
#12 or similar code should be committed to core.
Shortcuts must be translatable through the admin/config/regional/translate/translate screen.
Many of us don't let end-users actually create custom shortcuts. We, site builders, create shortcuts for them and we need those to be displayed in the end-user's preferred language.

#12 code fixes the problem, but I would put it inside the shortcut_renderable_links method, in order to apply to the shortcuts block too.

function shortcut_renderable_links($shortcut_set = NULL) {
  if (!isset($shortcut_set)) {
    $shortcut_set = shortcut_current_displayed_set();
  }
  $links = menu_tree($shortcut_set->set_name);

  //NG. Pass the link titles thru the translation interface.
  foreach($links as $index => $value){
    if(isset($value['#original_link'])){
      $links[$index]['#title'] = t($links[$index]['#title']);
    }
  }
  
  return $links;
}

This patch work for me

#16 works for me too.

The patch in #16 works. I agree with #18 and that won't be the only problem you'll get if you install Drupal 7 with another language different from english as default language.

I'm facing the same issue in Drupal 8. My problem is, i'm using Drupal composer to update core and contributed modules after each deployment. Hence, applying the patch #16 will be a hack of code for me. Can someone please validate the patch and apply the fix in Drupal core?

Any update on this issue? or any plan when will this be addressed? or Any action needed?

I tested this on Drupal 10.1.x, standard install with Italian as a second language. The shortcut links were not translated or translatable from the UI. It does seem that that ability should be added. In fact one of the shortcuts is now 'Add content' which is already translated.
