Autosuggest translations for Tooltips #410

Closed jwikman closed 2 years ago

jwikman commented 2 years ago

For tooltips we use same format pretty much everywhere ("Specifies the value of the ... field." -> "Nurodo lauko ... reikšmę."). Could this be automatically suggested by the XLIFF editor?

@ernestasjuska, Please get this in the right way, but why do you even bother to add Tooltip if they do not add any extra value?

"Specifies the value of the ... field." does not say anything more than I already new. If you add autogenerated, non-value adding, captions you only add a lot of extra work for the translations.

In our AppSource apps we try to add some extra information in the Tooltip, so it adds some more value to the field. In that way it might be worth the extra effort to handle the translations.

For that reason I cannot really see why we should spend time to build a feature like the one you suggest.

Does it make any sense? 🙂

Yes, it does make sense to make to create useful tooltips. You can close this.

@ernestasjuska ok, I'll proceed and close this one.

I hope I didn't scare you off by not agreeing with your suggestion. Keep on coming with good suggestions! 🙂
