The rich text editor in Confluence shows text in tooltips, warnings and other messages. If you are using Confluence in a language other than English, you will want to translate these messages as well as the standard Confluence text. With Confluence 2.5.5: The translations for the rich text editor can be part of a Confluence language pack plugin. If your language pack does not contain translations for the rich text editor, the text will show in English. (Before 2.5.5, it showed the 'key' value rather than English.) Partial translations of rich text editor messages are already included in the professional French and German language packs. Full translation is under construction. This makes things much simpler! You will find more information here: Overview of language pack translations Technical overview of language pack plugins Specific information on translating the rich text editor ##### Other fixes in 2.5.5 2.5.5 resolves these issues: Errors were reported by the JIRA trusted connection.
