Re: [poedit-users] word count in PO files

Hi Tibor,

Based on what you sent I did something in Python, could probably be done 
better if I know how to use the "re" module, but anyhow it is close enough.

I copied the poedit list in case others are interested in this too or 
maybe someone could create this a patch for poEdit to have something 
like this as tool/menu option.

Best regards
Werner

Python version:
pofile = file(r'some.po', 'r')

wordcount = 0
charcount = 0
netcharcount = 0

nottocount = '0123456789-=.,;:'

for line in pofile:
    if line[0:6] == 'msgid ':
        text = line[7:]
        for x in nottocount:
            text = text.replace(x, '')

        wordcount += len(text.split())
        charcount += len(text)
        netcharcount += len(text.replace(' ', ''))

[poedit-users] backslash quote

Hi

I have extracted a string from source, which has " character's. When I open the
po file in poedit, poedit shows \" instead of just ". Is there a way to make
poedit only show "?

No. Please file a bug for it -- arguably, it's a usability bug.

thanks,

[poedit-users] Expression lookup in TM?

Hi,

I've started using Poedit just a couple of days ago and I have to say
it's a very good replacement for some propietary solutions that I used
back in the day.

However, with the last one I used I could select a piece of text (from
the original string, for example) and look it up in the translation
memory, so I was able to see how that specific expression had been
previously translated.

Is that, or something similar, possible in Poedit? If not, do you think
I should the devel-list to ask for that feature?

Regards,

David.

You can always open a second instance of poEdit on the same catalog and 
use the Find dialog to do something similar to this.

Why not?
Search for backup, tick the box to say that you only want to search in 
"source" text and it should show you the entries that contain backup. 
Then it is up to you to figure out which word in the translation was 
used for "backup". No software can ever figure out a word to word match 
for a translation as there is not always one word for another.

Cheers

The problem with that -if I'm not mistaken, which might be the case- is
that would only search "backup" in the text I want to translate, not the
whole translation memory. Am I right?

I would like to be able to select a given expression and get a list of
previously translated entries (from all documents in the TM) that
contain that word or expression.

Nope, here is what I just tried:
Open a catalog
Select whichever entry I want
Select the word I want
Press Ctrl+C
Press Ctrl+F
Press Ctrl+V
Uncheck the "Find in translations" checkbox
Click Next

Here it finds the very first entry that has the selection I pasted in it.

Hum, searching in the entire translation memory, I'm not sure. Searching 
in the entire current catalog, that works well.

Well, the search tool works well when you want to search in the current
catalog, that's right. But there are situations where it would be useful
to search in the entire TM.

Just imagine the current catalog is untranslated -for example, you want
to translate an application that has not been translated to your
language before- and you need to know how a specific expression was
translated by other people, in different projects, to keep coherence.

You could select that expression -comprising one or several words- in
the original field, right-click it and choose "look up expression". Then
a window would pop up, showing entries from all the TM that contain that
selected expression, or similar ones. The exact ones first, of course.

Do you think that would be a feature worth having?
