While browsing the German localization of LT, i noticed some strings, that are not up for translation yet:

http://www.librarything.de/:
Now available in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Norwegian, Welsh and others

http://www.librarything.de/tour/:
>

http://www.librarything.de/users.php:
everything

http://www.librarything.de/catalog.php?view=derlinzer:
Search your library (hardcoded in search form)
permanent link (bottom of page)

http://www.librarything.de/profile.php?view=GirlFromIpanema
http://www.librarything.de/groups/discusslibrarythingi
Date and time formats in Groups and comments

I'm sure, i didn't catch all of them, so if anyone finds some more, post them here, so that they can be fixed...

Add :

After having added a book to your library :
"Added (book title) to your library."

Text snippet to become translatable :
"Added (SUP1) to your library."

The navbar at the top of a book page is always in English and no translations are offered. I'm pretty sure this just started today.

I think I saw it before.

Worse.

1. Whatever language version of LT you are using, when at the user page and choosing to see the books one of the users in the right hand column has in common with yours, though the link (status bar) directs at your language version, it is redirected at www.library.com pages--i.e. at the English version only.

2. The same way, choosing to edit one of your book entries and confirming the latter, whatever the language version you started with, this redirects you to the English language version only.

3. And of course, search redirects you to English only, too.

Because of the lack of a choose/pick your language bar, the users that wishes to stick with the language he had chosen, is to edit the URL over and over again.

Though I don't believe LT does this on purpose--the redirecting is bug feature--this technique is known as cooling out--and known to be rather effective.

Then again--and as was mentioned earlier, even several times--adding a pick your language bar would be a nice feature, and far more than just some polishing up gadget. It would make for a convinient usability rocketing tool.

What way is a visitor supposed to know -- guess? -- LT might be available in his (or a better suitable) language too? By entering through the front door? I though that on a web site, every page is a front page.

Well, LT is still in beta, and the "other language" pages are in gamma or even delta. It will all be set right when the time comes, I assume.
