Hi all, Recently got into PO files and want to translate a program.
Turns out, however, that multi-line hints in lfm files are not brought over correctly - only the first line of the multi-line hint. This is by design as can be seen in the Translations unit TPOFile.TranslateStrings procedure in the condition: if SType=stLrt then (at around line 1217) Multi-Line resourcestrings from the rst files are handled fine. I was going to take a stab at writing some code for this but then was stopped because I saw that there was some utf8 (?) translation going on when the rst file is created. Seeing that the job was starting to entangle multiple units and methods I thought it better to just let out a FYI and let a master work on it. This would also affect multi-line edits and so on, so I believe it was just a simple oversight. In a related question: Combobox contents (and I presume listbox contents) are not written to the lrt files. I would find this useful also as currently I have to make the combobox contents a resourcestring and then assign at runtime. But maybe this is a limitation of the po_file translation system itself? Have a great day. Julius -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
