But how are we gonna respond to user's questions about any setting without eliminating first the possibility he/she has messed with the lng file?
And will every user have to revert XY's language first to English, before posting in the forums?

That's what I'm a bit concerned about, but we'll see...

any ideas? maybe somewhat adjustable buttons?..

add: yet, am i the only one having problem with saving .lng and error about MLS version 0 ? used last beta clean and last reference.zip.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Only complaint (apart lack of some suggested features): ENTER should be the default key *even* in the multi-line. Ctrl+Enter should apply for standard 'enter' as it will probably never be used and totally breaks the workflow as it currently again.

...did I said 'thanks' already? No? Oh, thanks!

-is there a way for you to forcibly keep the caret in the edit box *unless* it is required on the Live Filter Box?
-...double click select *all* text in the box?
-...select all text in the box by default on each 'enter'?

Just to be clear: this is meant to be applied after clicking on each item at the 'items to translate' column...

can't say for the moment, 'cause didn't "play" too much. for the moment, it's a lack of place for 1-2 letters.
lets wait for maybe some other translators get in same situation. besides, DmFedorov is main on Russian translation, as we talked with him, so should wait for his opinion.

Is it possible that ITT could monitor "edit translation" box and warn user when the translated length exceeds original's, telling how many chars are off limits...? "Original" and "Translation" previews are a valuable measure tool, but a visual hint on the nearby of "edit translation" box telling that info will certainly provide a safe net to play with, enhancing workflow speed.
