I believe this to be wrong, understanding party in the sense of an event rather than a group of people, while the english sentence seems to be using the latter.

I think the English is ambiguous, so both versions might as well stay on, if they are both valid

There already is a Spanish translation with the event meaning, so I would just leave this be, maybe

I don't think the english is ambiguous. A native english speaker, if talking about the number of people at an event, would either say
How many people are at your party
or
How many people are at the party
but not
How many people are in your party

Of course, if the english sentence is not the "root" for the others but rather it is all a big free-for-all, then that is another story.

You're probably right. My English is not very perfect and I sometimes have trouble understanding too, so I'd just say it both ways.

All translations in this sentence page are either rooted to English sentence "in your party", or to Spanish sentence "...fiesta", meaning party in the event sense.

If this for sure cannot mean "in your party", then I can unlink the Finnish and the English (and with it, all its own translations), and add the more accurate translation.
That way, all the translations listed here will make sense and be accurate.

I do believe that would be the correct thing to do.
"In your party" very specifically refers to the number of people in a small group ([your] [friend or such] group).
The sentence here is what a waiter, for example, would ask for the purposes of finding seating for you and your friends when you enter a restaurant.
It's not what the police would ask you when busting down your neighourhood rave party or what the fire marshal would ask when checking your venue's safety permits.

Done. Thanks for the help!

No problem at all!
