Summary
Fixes a translation ambiguity where the string
"Notes"is used in two distinct UI contexts with different meanings, causing conflicts for translators (e.g. German requires "Anmerkungen" for the Link Manager field vs. "Notiz" for the editor collaborative Notes feature).Changes
src/wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php— Replaced_e( 'Notes' )with_ex( 'Notes', 'link manager notes field label' )and added a/* translators: */comment on the Notes textarea label in the Link Manager edit screen.Why
WordPress 6.9 introduced a collaborative "Notes" feature in the block editor. Both it and the pre-existing Link Manager "Notes" field share the same bare translation string, making it impossible for translators to supply different translations for each context. Using
_ex()with a context string resolves this ambiguity per WordPress i18n best practices.Testing
No behavioral change — this is a translation context fix only. Verify by confirming the Link Manager edit screen still renders the "Notes" label correctly.
