We think the maximum distance in a day isn't displayed correct, depending on the language.

 

* Language on site: English

Maximum distance in a day: 5,940 km, 2 caches, on 2014-07-17

* Language on site Swedish

Längst avstånd på en dag: 5,940 km - 2 cacher, den 2014-07-17

* Language on site: Dutch

Maximum afstand op een dag: 5 km - 2 caches, op 2014-07-17

 

haha (We guess the thousand seperator does not function correctly).

 

No problem, just let you know... that's all.

This seems correct, I can see the issue. The fact is that it's an error in the translation, just a small one, but it gives this effect.

As a side note, anyone can translate for Project-GC, or view how the translations look. Do so by visiting http://translate.project-gc.com/

It can be tricky to find the correct string though. In this case, the translated string looks like this:

<b>%s</b> km, <b>%d</b> caches, on <b>%s</b>

and has been translated into:

<b>%d</b> km - <b>%d</b> caches, op <b>%s</b>

 

The one with sharp eyes can see that a %s has been changed into %d. %s and %d are placeholders for strings and numbers. %d is the one for numbers. However, numbers in that case can not be with decimals, or have thousand seperators. Therefore, it will be cut at the first non digit.

I will correct this translation, it will take some days before it reaches the live servers.
