[bgo#114800] automatically add tag (comment) to modified strings / string comparison from 2 po files

Package: gtranslator Severity: enhancement Version: 0.99 Synopsis: feature request Bugzilla-Product: gtranslator Bugzilla-Component: Parse engine

Description: Description of Problem:

from the experience in my national translation group, I think could be really usefull tha have the possibiliti to save alll the string from the .po that have a particular tag. Let me explain with an example.

Suppose i translate the new string from a .po, for sure also if I use all the attention possible I'll do for sure some mistake, typing error, wrong interpretation of some string, some string for which I'm still in dubt an so on ... in our tp group we are used to send the translation for revision so we can check the new translation and i suppose also the other group do the same. Now to simplify the things for the others translators that want give their help in the revision, I add to all the new strings and all the modified strings the tag #, rev. and after I cut and paste all this strings to the email i have to send in the list of my group.

Now what I-m asking is: is possible to let gtranslator add this tag using a shortcut (maybe the tag coulb be also set by the user, there is non need to be equal for all the translators), after that could be wonderfull if gtranslator can save all the string with this tag on a file. In this way is simple for me attach all the strings modified or translated and also the other can directly modify this file with their suggestions. The next step extremely wonderfull is if gtranslator can handle this file also to add suggestion, in this way the others translator can send it back to me and opening inside gtranslator, in the mean time the translated po and one of this file with the revisions from another translator, i can really be mucch more productive. Without this feature I waste a lot of time search the string in the po comparing the one that are present in the email i receive.

I hope that this could be done, I mean ... not all in a hurry .. but will be nice if the addition of the tag and the the tagged strings saving could be implemented, I'm not sure but i suppose that is not a so complicated task

thanks in advance

Quite a good idea and something I did also think of yet :-) But should be a target for a post-1.0 release where such stuff and some kind of group-translation features may appear in gtranslator :-)
