Hi Tony,

 

here you are with a few thoughts on Nikolai's issue.

 

Nikolai is right that <group> and <trans-unit> element have got a lot of common attributes - in fact all possible attributes from <group> are included in the list of attributes for <trans-unit>. In spite of this I'm not sure this would be the best solution to merge those two elements into one as Nikolai suggested. We could just use the elements a little different way. Now I do not have any exact idea and I'm just thinking aloud so anyone feel free to tear it apart. I would add an attribute to the <trans-unit> - similar as Nikolai suggested - called e.g. for-group and we could remove all the attributes from the group element as those are already included in the <trans-unit> element. One <trans-unit> element would contain information for the whole group and the other elements could be nested inside the subgroup. The structure of the file could look like the following:

 

Example (simplified)

 

...

<group>         

    <trans-unit id="DIALOG1" for-group="yes" font="MS Sans Serif;8" style="WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME" coord="0;0;96;28">

        <source/>

        <target phase-name="after_resizing" coord="0;0;96;28">    -- local version of dialog coordinates

        </target>

    </trans-unit>

    <group>

        <trans-unit id="IDC_EDIT1" coord="35;7;53;14">

            <source/>

            <target phase-name="after_resizing" coord="40;7;60;14">    -- local version of editbox coordinates

            </target>

        </trans-unit>

        <trans-unit id="IDCSTATIC" coord="13;9;23;8">

            <source>Label:</source>

            <target phase-name="after_resizing" coord="25;9;35;8">         -- local version of label coordinates

            Translated Label:           

            </target>

         </trans-unit>

    </group>

</group>

 

 

This could solve Nikolai's issue however it could also introduce any new issues I'm not aware of at the moment.

I'm looking forward to your response.

 

Cheers,

Mirek
