Persian translations always shows as if an update is available
Running up-to-date SVN builds on localhost (2 different installs):
Under Preferences > Languages, the Persian language file always shows up as if an update is available (highlighted in the list) (when installed, of course). I’ve uninstalled (removed) and reinstalled it, but nothing changes.
That is the only lang file that shows that issue (I’ve 6 other languages installed). Interestingly, it has a different date than all (or most) other languages: August 9 vs August 7.

Re: Persian translations always shows as if an update is available
Good catch. After a bit of sleuthing I can see why, but I don’t know how to fix it at the moment.
Background: When you Install or click Update it goes to the RPC server, retrieves the strings and the last modification date of each string. The most recent string to be altered is then used as the lastmod date in your local database after it has performed the update/installation.
Normally this means that the Update button only appears when the modification dates differ BUT in the case of Persian (and I suspect some other languages) the most recently updated string was a ‘setup’ string. The RPC data block has the last modification timestamp of any string, but the setup strings themselves are ignored (i.e. not transmitted) during updates to the local database.
The upshot is that the lastmod timestamp of the most recently updated (in this case setup) string on the server is greater than the last received timestamp (which is some other string: in this case txpstriptags) so the local installation thinks the strings are stale and offers the update option.
Tl;dr: The RPC update script was modified recently to ignore setup strings. It needs fixing to transmit the most recent modified timestamp of non-setup strings. I’ve no idea where that script resides atm. If I find it I’ll fix it, but if not then Robert knows where it is.
Thanks for spotting this one.

This should be fixed now.
