Hi! When you edit an entry, the window title says "Edit <Entry type>", for example "Edit Username and password" or "Edit Website"
I don't know which translation entry this is, but it is simply translated as "Bearbeiten" in German, but putting that before the entry type is grammatically wrong. It should be "<Entry type> bearbeiten", not "Bearbeiten <Entry type>"
So I think this string should be changed to one with a placeholder for the type, so it can be translated correctly.
I suspect there are many more instances in RDM, where strings are concatenated in code rather than placeholders in localized strings, so maybe you can fix many of those in one swoop.
Thanks!
Daniel

Hello,
We will investigate this issue and come back to you.

Hello,
We've created a better pattern for this text to be properly adapted to other languages, and once the translation is done, should fix the issue you described. This should take effect with the upcoming 2026 version.

Hello,
I would like to be sure the final result is satisfactory. The way the information displays includes more than just the session's name or type.
It should display like this.

So there should be different templates for adding and editing an entry.
For editing it says "Bearbeiten <type> - <name> [<vault>]"
For adding it says "Hinzufügen <type> [<vault>]"
Grammatically it should be "<type> bearbeiten - <name> [<vault>]"
and "<type> hinzufügen [<vault>]"
You could also change it into something like "Add entry: <type> [<vault>]" and "Edit entry: <name> (<type>) [<vault>]"
If I'd do it from scratch, I'd probably just set the window title to "Add new entry" and "Edit entry: <name>" and put the extra information like entry type, vault etc. somewhere else on the form. I believe in an earlier RDM version the type was displayed on the bottom on the left pane with the tabs.
Hello,
To be clear, these 2 areas (the wizard header and the top left) aren't meant to be functional sentences, they are simply meant to be informative. They "grammatically" aren't sentences in english (or other languages) either. The goal is to simply state "Action" (Add or Edit) - "Information". With time, the "Information" evolved into "Connection type - Connection Name - Vault Name", but it remains ultimately "Information". The 3 different information displayed ended up being requests by users over the years.
We don't really want to split the information across multiple areas, it's not very intuitive to have to look in multiple places rather than have it all places in the same spot. If the new look I presented is in your opinion a downgrade from the earlier layout. We will simply revert to what it was previously.
"Edit - SSH Terminal - My SSH Name - Current Vault Name" is an info dump.
The "correct" way to form it into a sentence in english would be much longer, and not what we're going for.
If the previous (or last displayed) format is good enough to achieve a similar outcome in german, than that is what we are going for. Since the text is displayed based on availability, it isn't a simple change to simply move the vault name/connection name around as it sees fit.
I understand that capitalization convention and general phrasing in german varies enough that it warrants us making changes (in fact we have quite a few more changes in line already), but this paricular change here is not as simple at it seems.
However, if in your opinion the current (or previous display) are misleading, I will keep investigating for alternate solutions.

Thank you for clearing this up!
Even though it's not a full sentence, it's still grammatically wrong to write "Bearbeiten ..." in my opinion
One simple solution would be to just add a colon, like "Bearbeiten: ..."/"Edit: ..." or "Eintrag bearbeiten: ..." / "Edit entry: ..."
Similarly for adding entries it could be: "Neuer Eintrag: ..."/"New entry: ..." or "Eintrag hinzufügen: ..."/"Add entry: ..."
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to help us with this.
I will investigate our options and include this in our recent mass changes for resources.
