Terms with blank translations filled on export

Hi,
Yes, that's the intended behavior.

Version 2.6.0 added auto-translate for empty cells. Given that normally you will be adding terms and languages and even though the plugin has a TranslateAll button to translate a term to all languages, having to manually click the button for each of the terms, it's a pain.

And doing a query for each term to be translated was too slow with the current implementation (I'm adding code to the webservice to make that possible). That's why I added the autotranslate empty cells feature.
As soon as you export to google and import back, every empty translation is set to the correct translation. That's like a TranslateAllTermsToAllLanguages button!

But I see that feature does affect you. I will add a checkbox for disabling this feature in the next version.

In the meantime, I modified the code to export a minus sign whenever the cell is empty, and then when importing, the minus sign is replaced with empty again. That will disable the autotranslate feature on the webservice.

I have attached the modified scripts. Just replaced yours with these ones.

Hope that helps,
Frank

Hi,
Attached you can find the updated files, use this instead of the previous ones.

As a side note, I have scheduled to support empty translation, but the solution I'm going to implement depends on finishing the updated Translate All feature.

My plan its to completely remove the feature that turns all empty texts into its translation once you export and import from google. Instead of having that, I will make a general [Translate All] button that will query the translation of each empty term, allowing you to select just a few and filter them.
That way, you just click that button, everything gets translated, then you make empty the terms you don't need and they will not be re-translated again.

The problem, its that the current Translate All button its too slow to use for all terms/translations at the same time, because it contacts google for each translation. Instead, I'm writing a better alternative that batches the queries and contacts google only once.

That new code its almost done and I hope I be able to release it in one of the next two versions of the plugin.

Hope that helps,
Frank
