|
|
Hi Infralution
Our native language is not English, but we would like to have the invariant language to be English. While developing, we fill it with our (poor) technician English and later give it to an English translator. We would then like to override the invariant language with that translated English before creating new gxl/gxz files for other translators - so they only get a proper English in the invariant and their language.
It would be nice to have such a feature in Globalizer.NET, so it can set the status if the new/correct text changed. (Unfortunately this is not done if we cheat by replacing the tags in the gxl file)
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Daniel |

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. You can just select the entire English column and copy and paste it to the Invariant column - but you want it to do something different with the Status? _________________ Infralution Support |

Oops, I didn't think of the C&P possibility. This is even simpler then replacing the tags in the xml file or so.
But even then, it would be perfect when the program would compare the imported English language (or what ever's selected) to the Invariant and set the status of a translation item to 'changed' if it is not the same anymore and was 'translated' (no status change if it was 'added', because that will have to be translated anyway).
This way we can 'mark' those items as changed and the translator of the other languages (which will get the new English as the Invariant plus their language) can check if the translation of their language has to be updated too. I think this is especialy usefull for additional translations of a project where the first bulk translations has been done already and the English translator might find errors or more precise translations for some items.
I hope this explanation is more understandable... |

What you can do is cut and paste then show the Translation Filter dialog (using thenTranslation ->Filter Displayed Translations menu). Set the Filter Mode to "Items Matching in Cultures" and select the Invariant and English cultures. This will display all the translations that are unchanged. You can then select all filtered translations and use the Translation->Set Status menu to set the status to Unchanged. _________________ Infralution Support |
