I found the problem is in zh\_TW/main.lang ~ The value of FormatDateShort is ％m/%d/％Y . However there are many similar field FormatDateShortInput=％m/%d/％Y FormatDateShortJava=MM/dd/yyyy FormatDateShortJavaInput=MM/dd/yyyy FormatDateShortJQuery=mm/dd/yy FormatDateShortJQueryInput=mm/dd/yy Should I change all of them to ％Y/%d/％m ? ---

Ha!! Finally~ I found the answer!! It is in zh\_TW/main.lang but the % is wrong… The % in main.lang is ％ !! But a ％ is not a %, and there are the same issues in ja\_JP/compta.lang. Anyone can fix it to github ? ---

Hi thecyyoung, Well done ! These typo differences are not easy to catch. Could you contribute to have it corrected on transifex ? Please have a look how translations are handled in Dolibarr (English is the main language, translations are grabbed from the transifex platform before each new release).

Hi~ When I want to correct the translation from ％ to %, it says > A similar suggestion for this source string already exists. I think no one has fixed this. Just the system issue. Can you help me? Thank you very much~ ![註解 2020-05-17 185305](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/9/98d661d0480e74ec230871d623ccd4dd71ffa9a2.png) ---

I am really sorry, I am not familiar with transifex at all. Translation to French is already complete… Regarding your trouble, it is not clear indeed whether the system recognizes the difference of ‘%’. I did not know we can have two different ones… I think best is that you drop a message to one of the project coordinator eldy or novalore ([https://www.transifex.com/dolibarr-association/teams/32145/zh\_CN/](https://www.transifex.com/dolibarr-association/teams/32145/zh_CN/)). They should have the relevant answers ! Regards, Marc ---

Thank you very much. I am trying to ask any one to help me to fix the issue.
