Lng file and "where is it" in interface
Posted: 07 Feb 2013 21:49
Dear translators.
1) I first translated this program (at that time was no lng file).
Almost all placements of lng lines in the interface I know, but some of them I had never seen. Some have seen, but now it is not possible to see them. (total 456 items, almost 1 of 10 items)
The file "marked_English_8.23.lng" will help you see those lines (if they are) direct in interface of program.
You can see all invisible strings with Filter [¤©¬¶] in ITT, where
¤ - Duplicate
© - lost strings, that I've seen before.
¬ - new strings
¶ - old strings
The file "Where-Is-It.txt" will help you see location of lng-lines in the interface of program in "suggestions box" ITT. You must connect file as dictionary to ITT. (enter it name in ITT.ini)
Information will help those who want improve translation, knowing where and how to see the line and which part of other line is this line.
Of course, this "suggestions" window is not designed for this. The portion of the string is not visible.(you can copy it).
In this file you can see invisible strings marked ---¦¤ ---¦© ---¦¬ ---¦¶
If you find this feature useful, or rather unnecessary - tell your opinion.
And if you find 'invisible' string tell others how you can see it and where it appears.
The information can be displayed in another window- in the Notes panel (that nobody uses)
If we will have filter then we can see together e.g. all ITT items that placed in different parts of lng file (or Status bar strings, or context menu).
2) The second what I want from Don is reorganisation of lng file.
If you take a close look at the "Where-Is-It.txt" file you will see that it was made for this. It is fully sorted by location. This is why the menu and other places have strange supplement begins with the symbol ¢AAA_. It is letters-sorting (26 symbols instead 10 for numbers)
If all [messages] and [core] items will placed in theirs form (with hints {ms} and {co}) then lng file will be stable (not one lng-file version for one XYplorer version) and at the same time, all items will sorted in the order in which they appear in the dialogues and menus.
Such order we have in Customize Keyboard shortcuts. And nobody will say that it is bad.
