Description (last modified by michaeltwofish) (diff)
In the dashboard, all content types are missing. It tells how many entries have been published but no word about other content types. Different from that, on the author pages, the total number of posts is shown, with all content types included. Those numbers shouldn't be different. It does not always make sense to show ALL the author's posts, I'll open another ticket dealing with that.
In addition, the translation is wrong and incomplete in those parts. As "posts" are not the same as "entries", the translation should also use different words there.

I'm working on the translation by now. There is a lot of work to do to make entry/post clear.
Regarding the counts I can not completely follow you. Are we talking about the same when I define "post" as some item published and "entry" as an item of the content type "entry"? You talked about showing "only ... published posts", that would include all the published content in the blog then. You meant entry, didn't you?
I personally would like an option to specify if a content type is actually something visible. The reason I wrote "It does not always make sense to show ALL the author's posts" is that there are content types like blogroll links which I would not count at all except from the manage blogroll section. But I'm going offtopic.
It is okay if you say a count of all posts makes sense, but do you access your posts via the user profile? I don't. It's good to show the overall post count in the user list for the admin to have a quick view of the user's activity, but for the user himself it does not make sense, I think. And in the dashboard again, the info line talks about the blog having this and that stuff and totally leaves out all added content types. Maybe you could add something like "...and % other posts", or you modify the entire info line.
I hope I have time for IRC the next days, maybe we can have a talk then. Otherwise I'm checking the comments every day...

Related #1310.
And btw, the translation part is done.
The way the term is translated is up to the translator. Generally, we let the speakers of each language come to the decision as to the best word or phrase to use and take their word for it.
Regarding the counts used: a case could be made to have the text on the dashboard count only drafts and published posts, as some sites may not use the entry or page content type. Showing a count of all the author's posts does make sense, though, as the manage posts page allows the user to drill down and filter the posts more finely.
