Displaying only untranslated segments across all files

Post by okonvick »

Hi,

we have a large documentation project with hundreds of files. About 95% of the content is translated already, but every now and then, there's a segment or two in a file that are not translated at all.

Question: Is it possible to view only the untranslated segments (either in all files or just filtering untranslated segments when viewing a single file) or does the translator have to crawl through each and every file to see if there are any untranslated segments there?

Are you using Lingo for the translation or are you creating bundles and export them?

Here's what you can do:

1- You have hundreds of files. Fine. Look at the file list, the files with untranslated segments will appear as In Progress or anything else but NOT Complete. Sort that column
2- click on the Target Filter and paste this regular expression: ^[\s\t\r\n]*$
3- Remember to enable the Regular Expression filter like this: http://ctrlv.in/748772
4- This will display all the blank segments and you shall be good to go. Ideally you could try CTRL+F and do a search target segments using the same regex but Lingo seems to not like this.
