  • BookStack Version: 0.21.0 (has happened for a while though)
  • PHP Version: 7.2
Expected Behavior

After certain actions, e.g. creating a page, notifications are shown. In English, this may read something like Page Successfully Created.

Current Behavior

In the German language files (resources/lang/de/*), these notifications are the equivalent to has successfully created page. Not only should there be a username in front of the text, it also seems like there should be the page name at the end of it. However, no other language (that I speak) shows this format. Instead, other translations simply state that the page has been created, no username, no page name. While I would appreciate the more informative approach that the German translator has suggested, it just doesn't look like it is supported at this point?

Steps to Reproduce

Any action like creating a page, saving an existing one, making comments etc will show the behavior.
It seems like it was introduced in commit 0d6a6b5b.

I'd be happy to provide more appropriate translations if you agree with the need for them.

Hi @alex2702, Thanks for opening this issue.

Yes, I agree this needs to be updated. Most of the activities translations do show an entity name + username alongside the text but any *_notification translation strings will be shown alone.

If you could amend these that would be great, Otherwise I can comment on the commit you referenced above and ask the original author.

Sorry for the silence. I'm willing to fix the problems. It would take me a few weeks though since I'm busy right now. If that works for you, just leave this open and I'll get back to you.
