Version 5 - Restore from Project DB not loading existing translations

Posted by TradeSift on Tue 06 of Mar, 2012 11:24 GMT

We seem to have a problem with the latest version in that if we select to restore rather than rescan the translations and sun/moon settings are not restored.

Selecting to rescan either the whole project or just a module does restore the translations.

The problem seems especially apparent on a Project that does not have any forms, and also under My Project there is already a language resource file.

Resources.fr.resx
Resources.resx

Even though the project is set to use ml_strings and the majority of the translations are obtained via ml_string apart from one "manual" translation via the resources file.

Hope that makes some sense!

Hi,

I have tried to reproduce this, but with no luck so far.

Which version of Visual Studio are you using?
What kind of project it is (e.g. Windows Forms, ASP)?
With "My Project" I guess it is VB.

Do you mean that it is restoring the items in the grid, but without the full information? Is the original text shown?

If I can't reproduce it, I will try to figure out from the source code how this could happen (but I haven't had time yet).

Visual Studio is 2010 and the project is Vb.Net WinForms, one of many in a large solution. We are using the lastest version of the tool.

The original text is shown, but the translations (French) are not shown, the French language column is usually just grey. This does seem to happen for "source code" rather than controls.

When version 5 was initially released I had set the general property to use resource files, which initially seemed to change the loaded project setting to resource files, which we have now set back to ml_string so we will have a mixture of translation methods in the project.

Hi,

I screwed it up!

It should be fixed in version 5.0x.0014, which I have just uploaded.

No Problems, the tool is still a life saver!
