There seems to be a missing string for Ark Nova. The following sentence takes ${type} as an input, but I cannot find the input string ("type") - see attached screenshot. These are realised as the English words (Venom, Constriction...) when the following sentence appears in game. Who can help me check if there is a missing string, and add it if I am right?

(Looks like I cannot add a picture, the sentence I am talking about is

${player_name} discards their ${type} token

I am translating into Norwegian:

${player_name} kaster ${type}-markøren sin

The string ${type} is a variable and is determined during the actual gameplay by the program itself. The program will choose a word like Venom or Constriction due to the situation. As long as Venom or Constriction are translated, there is nothing to worry about. You handled the variable correctly by not altering it in your translation "${player_name} kaster ${type}-markøren sin". In fact, it's just the same principle as with ${player_name}!

Thanks, I realize "type" is a variable. The problem is I cannot find the variable ("venom", "constriction") etc. to translate. There should be a one-word string for me to translate that goes in "type" - but I think it's missing.

There are one-word strings for that. The problem is, that a search returns all texts, that contains the search term. There is not way to restrict the search for an exact match.

Here are direct links to the one-word texts, you mentioned: Venom, Constriction.

These one word strings were translated to Norwegian the 8th of February, though (I should have mentioned that all strings are translated for Ark Nova into Norwegian) - but English text still appears in the Notifications for the first string I posted about.

The two direct links you posted also seem to have different contexts (Cards, VenomPay) rather than Notification?

Submit a bug report. Preferably with a screenshot of the word appearing in English with the Norwegian text around it.

But check if there aren't already relevant Ark Nova translation bug reports submitted.

Takk så fruktansvärt mycket!
