Marked them for translation as part of [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3637](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3637), thanks for the report 🙂

I reworked the “Compare where?” etc. messages slightly as well as marking some that weren’t translatable: [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3823](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3823)

For the “CUT” message it looks like that’s a new feature which isn’t translatable yet, I’ll add an issue for it. ([https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/3824](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/3824))

Missed strings are usually pretty easy, it’s just finding them that’s hard :).

Usually all that’s needed to fix them is the exact phrase so it can be found in the source and marked for translation.

Attaching .png files tho… i have no idea!

Yikes, 972’s the RC. Thanks for reporting!

Update: was a few unwrapped lines in newcharacter.cpp and professions stashed in a different file. Should be fixed now.

I am not sure but could it be that the translations for trap names like “buried land mine” are ignored right now?

Edit:  
Another string: In the debug menu: “Remove all monsters”

Edit 2:  
The strings of the mod positions in the item description “window” are all non-translatable. ([issue #6441](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/6441))

No, according to the issue I posted on GitHub, it is not fixed yet.  
[https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/6441](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/6441)

Edit: This is fixed now. But Launchpad has not been updated yet. As far I know nobody manages the Launchpad for now. ☹
