Automatically update all translations on all forms

[robert.kuipers]

Hello,

I have a question about the following situation

We have a couple of applications consisting of many different projects and forms. We are using 1 central dictionary that contains the translations, and one translation item can be used across multiple forms and/or projects.

When we discover a wrong translation in the central dictionary, like a misspelled word, we fix it in the central dictionary. I would like to know the best and fastest way to update all forms with this corrected translation. Using auto-translate on all forms is very time-consuming, there must be a way to do this automatically for all forms in every project...

Could you tell me the fastest way to update all the forms?

Thanks in advance!

Does anybody know the answer to this? I would be very thankful if there was a way to do this automatically!

Just:
- export your project(s) into SIL/SIB file;
- open it in SIL Editor;
- select the top-node in the SIL Editor translations tree (left-side)
- click Auto-translate
- save file and load it back to the project

Please let me know if this helps.

Thank you very much, this works well

Would it be possible to make this process easier in future versions by adding a button in the TsiLang expert for example?

Thanks again, TsiLang is a great tool!

We will see if it is possible to implement this directly in TsiLang Expert.
