P: Negative Values Bug (German)

Yeah, i've done that and now I have my Dutch back, but lost my negative numbers... There's another string, quite similar that says "$$$/AgUI/TextField/MinusReplacement=^U+2212 " I removed (and placed back) the space also. But both didn't help. Luckily I can use the English version, waiting for an update...
When it's really bothering me I consider re-downloading it... I can't belief I'm the only one with this problem?

If you saved the original nl.lproj/TranslatedStrings.txt, put it back in place and restart LR. If that doesn't work, perhaps you'll need to re-download and reinstall.

I did, but it doesn't work! I can change it into any other language that I'm capable of (quite a few, to be honest), but not into Dutch. Any more advice?

Double-check that Preferences > General > Language is set to Dutch.

Problem again: now the whole program is in English instead of the original Dutch... What to do next?

I' have been trying to follow this steps exactly. But first: the Contents folder is a hidden one. I made it visible by rightclicking on the Adobe Lightroom.app -> 'show package' (in Dutch that'd called 'toon pakketinhoud")->Contents->Resources-nl.lproj (or for exemple in French it says fr.lproj)->TranslatedStrings.txt

The list that's being shown is in fact much longer then you think. Rightclick on the TranslatedStrings.txt and really open it in TextEdit, there you can find the string. After deleting the mentioned space the system tells you to make a kopie: it won't allow you to change the original. Get rid of that original (maybe save it somewhere) and leave the kopie in place. Start Lightroom again and everything works! Quite a relief I must say. But rather complicated for those not familiar in doing someting 'under the hood' I expect...

Ok, I found the bug. The bug would appear if you set the Lr UI language preference to certain local languages such as German, Dutch etc. There is a mistranslation in one of the translated strings.

1. If your UI language is German, open the following TranslatedStrings.txt file in TextEdit on Mac OSX:

/Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/de.lproj/TranslatedStrings.txt

2. Make a copy of the file so that you can revert to if you did something wrong in the following.

3. Find the text line text that looks like this

"$$$/AgUI/TextField/MinusReplacementNoSpace=^U+2212 "

4. Remove the extra space after the ^U+2212. The result would look like

"$$$/AgUI/TextField/MinusReplacementNoSpace=^U+2212"

5. Save your change to the original file named TranslatedStrings.txt.

Relaunch Lightroom and the bug would be fixed.

If you run into the same issue in other local language, you should look for TranslatedStrings.txt for your specific language at step 1. It is in a similar subfolder structure inside /Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/. Something looks lie /Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/[replace_with_your_two_letter_language_code].lproj

Same (very irritating) problem here in the Netherlands - Dutch language. You seriously don't want me to enter under the hood, do you? I have no clue how to find and manage the code you mentioned... Can't you just repair this in a soon to expect update?

My Mac OS X system preference language is Japanese.
