Synchronized tabs don't show device name in german localization
-
The german localization does not display from which device I have my sync tabs (but have on e.g. English).
Current text: Fenster mit 2 Tabs
Expected text: Fenster mit 2 Tabs auf {deviceName} -
@kirilkov Known issue in tracker, but i do not remember which bug number that was. Let me check.
Related to VB-70820 "Device name in "Send to your devices" context menu is incorrect" - Confirmed.
VAB-274 "Android Sync doesn't work if two instances have the same device name" - Confirmed. -
I am new to Vivaldi Browser and like it very much so far. But I came across the same issue described by the TO. I did some research and the issue has already been reported in the forum 2020. Is there any information on when this will be fixed? Do we as a community have access to the bug reports? I did not find it in the forum.
Best regards

Hi, any news here?

Time to remind again

@kirilkov @Hillman The bug is confirmed.
I read in bug tracker a comment:
Works as long as a device-name is setup in Sync. By default, this is the hostname or device make-model name. You can set up Sync without entering device names, and will end up not seeing a device name on other devices.
Do you have a device name in Settings โ Sync?
//EIT: Oh, i see, German UI missing the hostnames of the deice in Syncted Tabs icon dropdown.

Unofficial workaround with a patched file.
Should work in 6.4 Stable and 6.5 Snapshots with language DE.
๏ธBut!, every update of Vivaldi will delete the file; if not patched in updated Vivaldi version you need to copy back.
- Close Vivaldi
- Open https://pastebin.com/raw/EP5A33Mv (link expires after 30 days!)
- Save as messages.json
- Open Vivaldi program folder
- Go to folder ...\Application\6.4.3160.47\resources\vivaldi_locales\de\
- Backup the old messages.json
- Copy messages.json into folder
- Start Vivaldi
Works for me with 6.4 Stable and 6.5 Snapshot.

Should work in the next snapshot or stable build - otherwise I would have to reopen the bug because is a real bug in the code base.
PS.:
It was not my fault and someone else already marked it as "fixed". Nobody would have fixed it if not for this thread.Thank You All for noticing and complaining!

@QuHno Thanks for giving me the patched file, so i can share until next Stable & Snapshot gets it.
