Hello
I have a set of XML files as input into WinTrans, with a format like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <resources>
<string Cd="1">Transfer service</string>
<string Cd="2">Payment to addressee only</string>
<string Cd="3">Notify payee</string>
<string Cd="4">Free of Charge</string>
<string Cd="5">Poste restante</string>
</resources>
WinTrans correctly displays the English strings in the source column. I only have translations for a couple of the strings, so in the target language column I enter the translations that I have, and leave the other fields empty. When I generate the target file, the fields that should be empty have been filled with the English translation, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <resources>
<string Cd="1">Transfer service</string>
<string Cd="2">Payment to addressee only</string>
<string Cd="3">Notify payee</string>
<string Cd="4">Bez naknade</string>
<string Cd="5">Post restant</string>
</resources>
However, we need those fields to remain empty. This appears to be a bug to me. Please could you take a look?
Thanks
Pascale Stephenson

Hi,
the source language is used for all non translated strings.
Just translate with a Space when you want to have it empty the the target file. I think it should work.

I am now doing a new version of this project, so I tried your suggestion and it didn't work. I need these fields to remain untranslated so that in the next iteration they still show as untranslated. If I enter a space as the translation, the state changes to 'translated'. If I manually set the State back to 'needs translation', the space is ignored and English string written as before. This means next iteration I will not see these strings that still need translation.
I am currently having to manually edit these strings to remove the English afterwards, and it is very frustrating! Surely this was not designed this way on purpose? I can't think of another scenario where the absence of a translation would require the source language to replace it.
Thanks

Hello Pascale,
> ...the space is ignored and English string written as before.

This is not possible. The source text (yours: English) is not used when using at least one character ( a space) as translation.
I've checked it once again. It works. As translation the space is used in the target file.
