Board Game Arena

In beta I've found a couple of instances where there's a bug that results in some text being sent to all players in the language of the player whose action triggered it (so I may speak English but when I play a Japanese player I will see that text in Japanese).

It's not too hard to debug, but I'd love to test things thoroughly on Studio... but I can't reproduce the circumstances because I can't figure any way to set the language of any player's game in Studio to anything other than English.

Can it not be done, or am I missing something obvious?

You'll need to activate dummy translations on the manage game page. There is no other language supported on studio.
The main reason for this behaviour is using self::_('text') in a context where clienttranslate should be used. In the first case it returns strings in the language of the person who did the action.
So I would do a search for every self::_( and check if it is the right context to use it.

Bummer. That doesn't achieve the goal of 2 players playing using different languages to each other. No worries - I'll just test in Production (what could possibly go wrong?)

If you can access the source code of a game, I think it would be faster to check every instance.
You can request read-only on a game and validate.

Did you run project check on studio? It will find all non-translated strings (but it won't be able to tell different between calling self::_() in php vs clienttranslate().
If you sure the user see strings from person who initiated it - its definitely calling _ in php and sending it via notification.
