Well, unfortunately yes. It's because the same string exists in
several translation files with the same generic context. If we had
decided to go for one large .ts translation file, the identical
strings would have been merged together and conflicting translations
like this would be avoided. However, with the current approach with
one translation file per plugin, conflicting translations will
eventually happen when MythTV loads several of the translation files
containing the same strings in the same context, but with different
translations.

With mythvideo merged into mythfrontend, the mythfrontend_el.ts file
would be the place to look for the old mythvideo translations.

No, this behaviour is as expected.

Best regards

I see what you mean. I tried for test to rename the mythmusic_el.ts and upon restarting the frontend not all mythmusic menus reverted to English.

Thanks for the info.

Best regards,

Yianni.
