XF 2.0 Issue with Phrases

[Mayhem30]

I needed a massive amount of changes done to phrases. I downloaded the language file, modified it and imported it. It went well, except now everything shows up in red text - even if it wasn't modified. Can this be fixed in any way?

How does the forum software determine if a phrase was modified or not?

Secondly, I accidentally deleted "a_month_ago" entry from "xf_phrase_map". Anyway way for me to resolve that issue?

What reason is there for there to be 3 tables dedicated for phrases? (xf_phrase, xf_phrase_compiled and xf_phrase_map)

At this point, no. The phrase being present in a language file is what triggers it as being customized. You may need to redo the customizations via the control panel interface if you're just changing specific phrases.

Go to <url>/install/ and rebuild the master data.

Generally they each serve different purposes. The compiled table is what's actively used when phrases are requested.

I really had no choice as I just wanted to change the word "thread" to "topic" but there was over 450 instances? I can't do that manually.

It would be nice if something could be done in the future that would allow users to clear the modified tag for phrases for the entire list after a major change has taken place. I was really hoping that I could just run an SQL query on one of the 3 tables for phrases to clear that up.
