Cannot find a specific string to translate
Open, Needs TriagePublic4 Estimated Story PointsBUG REPORT

Description

Hi, I'm reading the help file in Indonesian (https://isa.toolforge.org/help?lang=id) and found a string that I can't find in translatewiki. It appeared under the second heading "Apa itu Wikimedia Commons?", first sentence:

Wikimedia Commons (also known as "Commons") is a Wikimedia project, a sister project of Wikipedia. It hosts a collection of millions of freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute.

My search only found this string:

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Wikimedia:Isa-a42700-%3D3Cstrong%3D3EWikimedia_Commons%3D3C/str/id (translated in May 2022)

Which has a slightly different wording:

Wikimedia Commons (also known as 'Commons') is a Wikimedia project, a sister project of Wikipedia, and a collection of more than 40 million free media files.

My search yielded no result:

https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=It+hosts+a+collection+of+millions+of+freely+usable+media+files+to+which+anyone+can+contribute&go=Menyang

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:
If I have to guess, I think at one time the string was this
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Wikimedia:Isa-a42700-%3D3Cstrong%3D3EWikimedia_Commons%3D3C/str/en

Then something changed, and now the slightly modified sentence is not from translatewiki anymore, and translators couldn't change that sentence easily

What should have happened instead?:

Any changes in the source language (English) should be made in the translatewiki

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

Event Timeline

The text has indeed changed and the translation info wasn't updated at the time (apparently I was the one who forgot😬). Quite a few things have changed in the translation strings, mostly things being added for the new suggestion functionality. I have to look through it more thoroughly to make sure it looks OK.
