Import developer comments for placeholder into Passolo

Robert K.

Hello,

for a streamlined translation process I adviced the developers to comment placeholders in the string resources (.resX). The translators shall get additional context to improve the translation quality.

Sticking to the guidelines of microsoft and working with satellite assemblys these comment will vanish in the build process. So the main assemblys do not contain the comments anymore. There seems to be no option to keep the comments.

I could add the comments after the build process in Passolo. But the manual work is enormous. The only approach I see is to automatically insert the comments again in Passolo, if possible, or to switch the workflow to resx-files.

Technology: .NET WindowsForms

Any solutions for this problem or any workflow tips?

    I assume that the Passolo project is based on the binary files. If the binary files and the RESX files are stored there on the same system a macro customization can import the comments from the RESX files and associate them with the corresponding entries from the binary files each time a binary is parsed

    @Daniel: There is no need to use a cleaner to just have the differences stored in the RESX files. Using the parser option Write only changed information you can achieve this using already existing features.
