Suggestions for improving "TsiLang Components Suite"

Post by Stalker4 »

Hi All,

TsiLang Components Suite 7.8.4, Delphi 10.4.1

1. Add the "Replace" dialog button to the "Translation Editor" expert window. For the "replacement" to work in the selected section of the "Translations" tree.

2.
For example, there is a code like this:

Code: Select all

procedure Test(a :integer);
begin

 if a = 1 then begin
   ShowMessage('bla-bla-bla');
   Exit;
 end;

end;
After processing "Scan selected source" the following code is obtained:

Code: Select all

procedure Test(a :integer);
begin

 if a = 1 then begin
   ShowMessage(siLangLinked.GetTextOrDefault('IDS_1' { 'bla-bla-bla' }));
   Exit;
 end;

end;
That is, the text to be translated as a comment is added to the right inside the GetTextOrDefault call.

Is it possible to add an option to the TsiLang-Expert settings so that this text is added above the replacement line, at its beginning ?

Code: Select all

procedure Test(a :integer);
begin

 if a = 1 then begin
   { 'bla-bla-bla' }
   ShowMessage(siLangLinked.GetTextOrDefault('IDS_1'));
   Exit;
 end;

end;

A couple more suggestions:

3. In the "Translation Editor", in the "Strings" section, you can add a new string only to the end of the list.
Add the ability to add a new line to any position in the list of lines.

4. There is a form, on the form there is a "Label" with the filled in and the "Caption" property. In the "Translation Editor" for "Label.Caption" translation is set.
(In principle, instead of "Label.Caption" there can be any other component for translating text).
Add a container component to the same form (for example, TGroupBox, TPageControl).
And we need to transfer our "Label" to it. If you do this using Cut and Paste, the translation is lost.

Can there be an opportunity not to delete the translation immediately during the "Cut "?

Hello,

3. Is there any sense for this?

4. Right-click on TsiLang on the form and check "Ignore removals". Then TsiLang won't automatically delete data related to deleted components. Uncheck it again to re-activate.

3. This is necessary so that the translations of the individual logical parts of the module (form) are together, this simplifies the work with them.

Now we have to do an export for this, change the order of lines in a text editor and make an import.
This is not very convenient.

4. Thanks for the tip, I'll try this.

5) In "SIL Editor" leading and trailing spaces can be marked with a special character (bold point). Can the same feature be added to "Translation Editor"?

I saw that in 7.8.5 in the "translation editor" you made the "Find and Replace" dialog. I checked it - it works, but the window itself is a little not neat in the Russian version, correct it.

What IDE version do you use? Under 10.4.1 everything is fine:
