Localization - Make it possible to copy the default language value into the translated value

created 13 years ago

Hello,
I'm in the process of translating XAF into french.
There are nearly 10 000 texts to translate.
Sometimes the French value is the same as the English one (Visible for example is the same word in English and in French).
Sometimes the value should not be translated. Very often the ObjectCaptionFormat property is defined as {0:Name} and this value should stay like this (in most cases).
What comes in mind here is just to let the translated value as is, so it's not translated.
The problem arrives when you open the translator. You select the filter Unstranslated and boom, you get 2000 untranslated values. In fact 1800 of these are values that should not be translated.
So what I'm asking is a way to copy the default language value in the translated value. Just select a few lines, press a key and you're done.
This will have 2 benefits :
1/ For the problem I described above.
2/ When the translated value is close to the default one. You copy the default value and make just small modifications.
Many thanks for listening … hope to get this into 11.2 as it's very easy to do and it will greatly enhance the translaters experience

    Thank you for listening Dennis. I stopped translating because it became too time consuming as I have to check again all the !IsTranslated texts every time.
    For sure you will get the French version up to date much more often if this is implemented.
    And be able to check the IsTranslated column would be a perfect way to accomplis this.
