Hi

I use Sisulizer 2010 Build 321

and I need to import strings from an excel file using command shell (SLMAKE) and with the option "Ignored characters" -> "Character case" set on.

This option appears in the Import wizard UI.

 

what flag should I use for that?

I couldn't find it in the manuals.

 

Thanks

Ela

Hello Ela,

Current version of SlMake doesn't support this parameter for import command and it is avilable only via Sisulizer GUI. I'll ask our R&D about adding ignored characters parameters. Here is article on our blog about import command: http://www.the-localization-tool.com/?p=936
BTW:
Because thread is rather about improving of existing feature (not about bug), so I moved it to our wishes section.

Best regards,
Janusz

Thanks Janusz, for your quick response.

I understand you don't support this parameter but it causes me a lot of problems.

I'll explain:

Exporting to excel is done as case insensitive when I use "Only first instance" option checked.

So if I had 2 strings:

1) User Preferences

2) user preferences

 

The exported excel would contain only one of them - User Preferences

 

On the other hand, importing strings is done as case sensitive.

So importing the excel will update only "User Preferences" string and the other string is left not translated.

 

Is it possible then, to have these 2 features aligned with each other?

Can I export only first instance but treat the strings as case sensitive?

 

Thanks

Ela

I understand you, it could be annoying. I already forwarded it to our developers.

There were to issues in Sisulizer

1) When Only first instances on Sisulizer incorrectly ingore case. It should have exported items that used difference case. Now if project contained "One" and "one" only "One" or "one" was exported. I added also an option to turn on the old case insensitive export. The new features will be in the next build (330)

2) SlMake did not have any option to turn on case insensitive importing. I added this. The new feature will be in the next build (330). Use -ignorecase option. I also added some other missing options.

330 will be released next week.

Here is some more information. Current Sisulizer handles duplicates in case insensitive way. This might be usefull in some purposes but the duplicate exclude feature was not indented to work like this. The purpose was to include every string at least onece and exclude only those string that are 100% the same. This is why I changed the logic such way. The new logic is effection starting from Sisulizer build 330. To make new build backward compatible I added a new option. if you check Ignore character case on duplicates check box Sisulizer works like it works now.

If you want to ignore case when importing use the following options

SlMake.exe import MyFile.xls -columns:en;de -ignorecase MyFile.slp

ignorecase is a new option for import task. Other new options are

 -onlystrings Import only strings values.
 -ignorecase  Ignore character case of imported values.
 -ignorewhite Ignore white spaces of imported values.
 -ignorespe   Ignore special characters such as period and hot key (&;).
 -usepartial  Use partial context.

Thank you all for the help

 

I currently own the license for Sisulizer 2010 (and use version 321),

so I'll probably update to Sisulizer 3 to get hold of version 330

 

Last question,

Are there any breaking changes between versions 321 and 330 I should know of?

 

Thanks

Ela
