Notification emails arrive in your language, and the bell is ready to follow

The portal renders its buttons, menus and settings in your language — but notifications did not. Every row in the bell was English: "Update available: …", "Startup import failed: …", "You've been given access to …", and so was the email each one sent.

Why it happened, and why it was not simply an overlooked string

A notification is written by the portal working in the background — a plugin checking for updates, a module scan, an import running at startup, a page someone was granted access to. Nobody is looking at the screen at that moment, so there is no language to write it in; the portal picked its own default, English, and stored that finished sentence on the notification.

That is also why a handful of these notifications looked translated and still were not: the German text existed, it was simply chosen at the moment of writing, when the only answer available was "English".

What you get today

Notification emails follow the recipient. An email has exactly one reader, and the portal knows who — so the subject, the body, the button and both footer lines are now written in that person's language rather than the server's. This is live with this update.

Notifications now carry what they mean. Instead of a finished English sentence, a notification stores which message it is and the details that belong in it — which module, which partition, how many errors. That covers the reminders you actually see:

• plugin and module updates — available, held back, or needing a global administrator
• a module discovered, added, refused or no longer offered by its repository
• a plugin registry that could not be reached during startup
• an import that failed at startup, and a page type that failed to compile or is serving a placeholder
• someone giving you access to a page or space

What follows

The bell itself puts those pieces together into a sentence, and it picks up the new information with the portal update that follows this one. Until then every row still shows the English it was written with — nothing is missing or broken, it is simply not translated yet.

What stays in English

Text the portal did not write itself: an error message from a compiler, an exception quoted from another system, the raw startup log lines that a report carries. Those are shown exactly as they arrived, in every language, which is more honest than a half-translation. Where such a fragment sits inside a sentence the portal did write, the sentence around it is translated and the fragment is left as it is.

Notifications already in your bell keep the wording they were written with — nothing was rewritten or lost.
