Launchpad itself

Search, anyone?

Asked by Anders Feder

All in all, Launchpad Translation is a good tool - but can it really be true that it does not support searching for a particular (mis)translation? 99% of the translations I want to submit comes from spotting a poor translation in use in an application I'm using.

Do I really need to scroll and search hundreds of strings manually or download the entire translation file just to make such a fix? By the time I'm ready to enter the correct translation, I've already lost interest - which is real shame, because I spot *a lot* of mistranslations like that. Furthermore, mistranslations fixed this way will often be of higher quality because they are correct in-context.

If search really is not available, it should be added.

Hi Anders. As a matter of fact, we've been beta testing searching through PO files for the last month or so, and this is going public in the next few days.
