Empty trash confirmation in GA

[meikka]

Hi

Where is the empty Trash confirmation defined ? Also the Yes and No selection in the same window ? I could not find them in the normal translation files.

In finnish translation this confirmation is mostly in english.

Are you sure you want to permanently delete everything within the Roskakori folder?

It's in ZmMsg.properties, confirmEmptyFolder=...

Hi

I have missed that parameter. Now it is translated.

It would be nice, if someone could write a script, which will verify the original and the translated file to see that everything is translated.

Did you forget to include it in the file or forget to change the value? I think having a script to make sure the translated file has all the values of the original file would be a big help. It would make future translations easier since you can quickly identify new strings. I guess that same script could have an option to add in missing strings, and then identify strings that still match the original(hence aren't translated).

I've attached a quick hack - run it as ./i18n_verify.pl file1 file2

Named the file i18n_verify.txt to allow for upload.


You may need to run dos2unix on both files before running this script.

We definitely need a tool to verify the translated message properties files. Perhaps such a tool already exists considering that it's so useful. I'll check on that. If not, then as soon as we start integrating the contributed language packs into the product (as opposed to just posting them on the forums), I'll write an Ant task to run during the build that will check the translated properties file. The tool will generate warnings for missing or extraneous properties, etc.

It would also be useful to do the same thing for two versions of the same language so that it's easy to see what has changed between releases of the product.

Hi

Currently the easiest way to translate is to have the new languange file side by side with the previous translantion.

I'll go through the files line by line and make the corrections. In this case one parameter was replaced by the new one and I didn't notice the change and that's why it was not translated.

A good tool would be helpful.
