Excluded items in .sil file

Post by james_screech »

I've just used the TsiLangExpert to exclude strings that do not need to be translated. Then exported the project to a .sil file to go to our translater and the strings that I excluded are in the file! :(

How can I create a .sil file without the excluded strings :?:

No reaction on this question...

Any news on this issue ? We are using version 6.5.2 and are experiencing the same problem. Very confusing for our translator.

Regards,

Pieter

This user just duplicated his message by email and got a reply by email.

SIL file is a simple INI for with all rules of INI files apply. So when you save new information to it, the previously created enties (that were created when you saved the file with "un-excluded" properties) are still persist. So for resolving the case you would need to either:
1. Save your project translations under different file name.
2. Manually clear the file in text editor before saing translations to it.
3. Save translations to SIB file and send it to translators.
Best regards,

We will use the SIB file instead of the SIL file.

Thanks for the help.
