Translation sheet on 4.22.1 TouchGFX version

[GMene.785]

Hello,

In previous versions of touchGFX, I could easily translate texts by editing an .xlsx file and then replacing it in the assets folder.

However, I've noticed that in version 4.22.1, there is only an .xml file generated when I create touchGFX files. I tried editing it and replacing it, but I'm encountering an 'Error on the .xml file' when I open touchGFX. Is there a way to edit translations outside of touchGFX?

I've also noticed that I can't filter texts by view anymore, and I need to group them manually, which is quite challenging for a migrated project. Is there a feature that I can use to identify where text is in the GUI?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hello @GMene.785 ,

You can edit the generated .xml file but replacing it completely might causes some issue. What I suggest is to add the language from the designer and keep the text empty, then add the values you need into the .xml file. It would be like this:

    <TextGroup Id="Unsorted">
      <Text Id="ResourceId1" Alignment="Left" TypographyId="Default">
        <Translation Language="GB">Hello</Translation>
        <Translation Language="DK">Hej</Translation>
      </Text>
      <Text Id="__SingleUse_CJ9S" Alignment="Left" TypographyId="Default">
        <Translation Language="GB">Welcome</Translation>
        <Translation Language="DK">Velkommen</Translation>
      </Text>
    </TextGroup>

which results in:

But for your second question, unfortunately, there are no ways currently to find the usage of each text. However, we will surely consider this problem for future. 

I hope I have answered your questions, and don't hesitate to ask more

Hi,

"I've noticed that in version 4.22.1, there is only an .xml file generated"
Maybe option could be to go to .xlsx domain, edit there and go back to .xml.
