    Hey Dennis

    you are the lucky receiver of my FIRST post :)

    I was going to implement something similar, when I discovered your great package!

    It will really help my company as we are going to use external companies for translations, and therefore my suggestion for a new feature.

    Somethimes a text can't be translated "directly" and translators get the desired meaning wrong, so may I suggest a "comment" property, for each translatable key in the XML tree, like so:

    <Item key="title" comment="this is the headline title text">....

     

    Best Regards Peter Gustenhoff

    Hi Peter

    Thank you very much for your feedback, and for dedicating your first post to me :)

    It's not a bad idea, however I think it's out of the scope for this package. It's not impossible to do, but it would require that the package created a new database table or other data storage for the comments, since dictionary items in Umbraco don't have comments. Also, these comments would only be editable using my package, and not the Umbraco dictionary section.

    It's not something I think I will proceed. However, you can still add attributes to the generated XML if you like, before sending the XML to a translator. It should work just fine when being imported after the translation.

    Best regards
    Dennis Milandt
