  1. One of the translators for our application has asked whether it is possible to use multiple reference languages at once. This would be useful to, for example, look at both the English original and the German translation in order to create the Italian version.

    Cross-referencing with other translations makes it easier to enhance one's own understanding, and having original and other translations side by side makes this convenient. It might be useful to still highlight the original (project's Default Reference Language) to establish a hierarchy of authority in case there are deviations.

    Our suggestion would be to allow viewing multiple…

  2. Hi !

    I'm using auto import from gitlab to POEditor from multiple files with tags to identify them.
    When I'm exporting back to gitlab I've got plenty of commit messages on master and I can't check in a proper MR if all is set correctly.
    It will be very nice if the export feature create a branch on the fly from master.

    Thank you !

  3. When a definition is empty and only if empty, it would be nice if we can simply double-click on the definition field input to copy the term.

    We do not want to use the global 'Copy Terms to Definitions' option. On one of my project, I have about 6000 terms and only ~300-400 need a simple "copy" for a specific language.

  5. I am using nested JSON for localization in a couple apps and would be nice if you could support it.

    here is a sample that you can use to test: http://pastebin.com/fbpjSmQi

  6. I'd like to see a Mattermost integration (Mattermost is basically like Slack, but open source). Mattermost accepts the same message format as Slack.

    https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html

    I suppose the Mattermost integration would be essentially the same as your current Slack integration, but with a custom URL for the webhook.

  7. Comments and context are very useful for translators, but I don't need to have them in my project. I think there should be an option during exporting to add or omit comments and context in the exported files.

  8. Currently android string arrays are not supported. They are completely stripped off. This should not happen.

  9. the translation tool does not display the context information embedded into the source xliff file in <context-group> and <note> tags.
    Such support would greatly help in providing a better translation experience.

  10. Platforms such as HumHub or Yii framework apps use the PHP format to translate content but POEditor doesn't support this yet, so I'd like to request that this feature be added as soon as possible. :)

  11. our translators often break html tags with extra spaces - e.g. </ strong>
    sometimes they even translate tags/attribute values
    would be nice to have validation/error highlight for this cases

  12. Create a POEDITOR feature that developers could optionally integrate into their live-apps which would allow app-users to suggest a translation for any string in the app and send it to the dashboard for review/approval.

    This "Suggest translation"-feature could be activated via app settings, or via shake, etc...

    When "Suggest translation" mode is active, editable strings get highlighted/underlined and the user can EG. triple-tap any highlighter/underlined string on the screen to select it and suggest a translation/correction in any available language (selectable from a list.) (selections are modifiable, but are saved and set as default for that user/device)

    The user can…

  13. Hi, I see some of the translators do a formal translations and some use an informal style. Would be great if instead of us having to specify in comments if we want a formal or informal translation for each translations, that POEditor would introduce a checkbox to specify the translation style for each term.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    If you would like to set a particular tone for a translation order sent to Gengo, please use the ‘Comment for translator’ form on the order, as described at point 2 in this article: https://poeditor.com/kb/how-to-get-human-translation-services

    In case some strings in order should be treated as exceptions to these general instructions, note that you can also pass to translators what is written in the first comment of each of your strings, as well as in the Context attribute of each string.

  14. Impose a fixed length limit on specific strings to prevent users accidentally going over the limit and causing errors during deployment workflow.

  15. In some cases, you might have copied part of your main language translation files )let's say English) into the other languages (French).
    With POEditor, you don't have possibility to check this behavior of same "string" used in both languages, as it will appear as translated.
    QA chacks could return an "error", in order to ease the work of the person that needs to translate by pointing out directly those situations.

  16. It's great that POEditor imports comments from Android strings.xml files. However, it assumes that the comments are in front of the string. We have so far followed this format, after the string:

    <string name="Exit">Exit</string><!-- exit the application -->

    Would be nice to have an option for importing/exporting it like that. Having the comment in the line above (and an extra blank line before) is IMHO a space-wasting layout.

  18. this feature is necessary for some languages like German, French, Russian. It is not possible to add this, is it? MediaWiki has this feature too. It would be a loss of communication to have not this feature, right? I beg you please integrate this feature

  19. I have some translations we are working on, but some saved translations have new line characters (\n) at the end, leaving me with a po file like:

    : Views\Course\Lessons.cshtml:271

    msgid "Complete final exam"
    msgstr "完成期末考試\n"
    ""

    Maybe your editor could automatically trim whitespace from the beginnings and ends? Maybe a setting, incase some people like it?

    Very nice tool :)

  20. I'd love to be able to get the number of translations a contributor has provided for a project. That way I can incentivize translations and automate distributing rewards based on how many strings they've provided.

    I'm thinking of running a script to periodically check if any contributors have passed various milestones and awarding promo codes via email. Currently I have to do this manually.
