istrebitjel Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Only with my latest iteration of the translation did I find a good tool for doing this: I'm using PSPad, a freeware editor.I open my German file and use 'Tools/Text Differences/Text Diff with this file' and open the Template file. Now you have to make sure every string has the nice zebra-pattern: The original English string should match my file and the line below is my translation and the '?'.If you see two marked green lines or red lines, you need to modify:Copy the missing part from the template and double click on an existing line in the Translation, which takes you to that section to edit the file.After saving you go back to the comparison and hit the refresh/recycle symbol and proceed.Hope that helps, or you even have something better Let me know!Istrebitjel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaV Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm using file compare from Total Commander, and EditPlus for editing files, works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyx Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 jEdit one of the best editors out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istrebitjel Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Er, I don't wanna stop the game of naming your favourite editor..... :shock: But could you at least post a link and name a few reasons, why it is so good? Also for me it's important if it is Freeware or Shareware... I used to have UltraEdit registered, but since they want money for every major release and I found that PSPad has all the features I need (Block editing, File Comparing, DOS/Unix File conversion, Unicode support, Macros, ...).Thanks,Istrebitjel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istrebitjel Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 In another thread SledgeDG recommendedExamDiff - a very cool program where you can edit directly in the Diff! (only in the registered version)Tonight I'll check this out:OpenLogosIt's a free Linux Transalation Software, has just been released and requires PostgreSQL. I'm not sure if it's really helpful for our mode of tranlation here, but I'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyx Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I suggest jEdit with the VisualDiff plugin installed. Open Source and very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
