Simple Excel Export with Exporting Only Untranslated Strings doesn't work

Posted by ornus on Tue 22 of Jun, 2010 00:44 GMT

I have a fairly large project and several languages. Only one language (Spanish, in addition to default English) is mostly translated. Other languages are not.

When I go to do Simple Excel Export with Only Untranslated Strings I get full export with all strings. Regular Excel Export works fine.

Any clues on how this can be fixed?
Thank you.

I think that I have fixed this in version 4.7x.0018.

At present, the logic of this function is to suppress the export of texts, which have the status 'excel import', and the background colour green. The idea is, that there is no need to send texts a translator, if he or she has already translated them.

If you have translated the texts yourself, so they have a white background (not green for excel import), you can change them all to green by exporting to excel and immediately reimporting, with the option to update the status of all imported texts. If you then export again, selecting the option new, modified or untranslated texts, then only the untranslated texts will be exported.

It would be more flexible, if I let you select exactly which status values should be exported. Would that be useful? Would it be easier to understand?

This would be helpful, yes.

What you've described is confusing and probably not everyone would realize that's how things work.

Thanks for looking into it.
