Displaying string lists
Double-clicking on a field in the project window opens the relevant string list. If the string list is missing, SDL Passolo will suggest creating it on the fly. Each string list can be opened only once. If you attempt to "reopen" an already open string list, the currently available window will be activated and moved to the foreground. Open string lists are identifiable by the icon in the project window.
String lists have the following structure:
String lists
The string list window can contain one or more string lists of the same language. All the string lists that can be opened in a window are displayed in the Resources tree on the left. By double-clicking such an entry you can load additional string lists in the window. To close a specific string list, right-click the entry and choose Close from the shortcut menu. To close the string list window completely, right-click the tab above the string list and choose Close.
Resources
The resource lists are displayed on the left side of the window in the form of a tree structure showing the available resource types. Click on the small plus symbol next to a resource type (e.g., "Menu") to open a list of the resources this type contains. Each resource is displayed with its ID (number or string) and optionally a short info text. In the case of dialogs this info text contains the title of the dialog.
Depending on the status of a resource the following icons are displayed:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
This resource is write-protected and the string it contains cannot be modified by the translator. | |
While this resource is available in the source string list, it is hidden in the translation list. | |
This resource has been added to the source string list. | |
(Binaries only.) This resource was modified in the source file. This attribute will only be displayed in the translation list if the resource was modified by the translator. |
Strings
The right side of the page lists all the extracted strings together with their string number, resource ID, and any comments. You can also filter the display so that only certain strings are shown (see Filter functions and Displaying resources).
