Complete translation : same word in two langages

Have a translation or something? It goes here. This can mean modules, documentation, or CMSMS itself!

Complete translation : same word in two langages

Post by redwarp »

Well, I noticed that, if you translate a module through the translation center, what's not translated remains in red. But sometimes, two langages use the same word to say the same thing. It means, it's never gonna be translated. Meaning, in the translation center, it's gonna stay in red. And the translation is gonna remain incomplete.

No big deal, but I'm a bit maniacal sometimes, and nothing soothes my soul more than seeing a completed translation.
Is there a way to indicate that some word is not translated, and that it's never gonna be, and that's the way you wan't it thank you very much ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Redwarp.

Just put a space before or behind the word...

Yeah its unfortunately two very offen seen "bugs" in TC.
-The one you point out - that you can't say the two strings are wqual.
(Solution - make them not equal somehow)
-The other one is that long-text areas get marked as translated even if they are not touched at all - you just need to save the translation project and when its marked as translated.


An other problem "we" try to find solution for is
that its no way to mark a translated string as "old" if the from-string is changed by the developer. What way its hard to find if the translation is "outdated".


A new translation module will hopefully make this easier for us translators later.
I live in the hope and belive!
