Q: Best Practice when changed IDs in MFC project?

Question

Hello group, 
 
 due to unhappy circumstances I had to renumber my ids in my resources (MFC with VS2015). The renumbered ids are approcimately 400-500 ressource values (all kind of ressources). 
 Now I'd like to know what is the best practice to get the already translated resources (100%) back in PASSOLO2016 after update my string list in my project? 
 
 Kind regards 
 Alexander

Hi Alexander, 
You can Project export all to the glossary (Projet, Export, you pick PASSOLO Glossary Export) 
You will need to add the Glossary after and create the index. ( Tools, Glossary, click add button, after select the new glossary in the list and click on create quickindex) 
After you can do in Home, pre-translate (in the options... button you specify your new glossary only) to reimport the translation. 
 
You need to be carefull if you have for the same source word with different translation it will translate all the same work with the last translation found in the glossary. 
 
example: 
 
Pull => Handel in French : Poignée 
 
Pull => Pull from the wall in french : Tiré 
 
all the pull words will translate as Poignée or Tiré 
 
good day

There are 2 different proposals. If these 400-500 string entries are coming from different resources (i.e. menus, dialogs and StringTable) and if the resource IDs haven&rsquo;t changed I would suggest to use Leverage instead of a pre-translation with a glossary. 
 Use the Leverage options to match resource ID and source string and do not activate to match the string ID. The Leverage will be more secure and you will avoid a lot of checks if multiple 100% matches occur.
