Empty language string auto filled in with default language

[KlaartjeDB]

First I want to thank you for this wonderful tool. Just a small issue I have right now. I'm using a couple of different languages in my master file that I build for both iOS and Android and this is going great. However whenever one of the languages is not filled in, it will automatically create the langue using the english string. I would rather have it keep empty so I can easily see which of the strings still need translations. Can you help here?

Hello! This is a duplicate of #292 -- I'm going to close this but please feel free to follow up there or here with additional information if this doesn't help and we can consider re-opening.

Hey Scelis,

thanks for the help. This is however not helping as it's not generating any strings at all right now. I'm using this command: twine generate-localization-file ./localisations/$1_localisation.txt ./build/$1/Localizable-$2.strings --format apple --lang $2 --include untranslated without the --include untranslated it's working fine, but with it, it's saying

Nothing to generate! The resulting file would not contain any translations.

Ahhh, sorry. I understand what you are looking for, now. Would you mind including a sample twine file and command that exhibits this behavior? I believe the above command should work but I would be happy to look into it with a small reproducible test case.

What command are you running?

twine generate-localization-file test.txt Localizable.strings --format apple --lang de --include untranslated

Running that gives me:

/**
 * Apple Strings File
 * Generated by Twine 1.0.6
 * Language: de
 */

"privacy_statement_url" = "https://terms.conneq.tech/%1$@/privacy-statement/%2$@.html";

Which matches my expectations of how --include untranslated should work

[KlaartjeDB]

I'm running twine generate-localization-file ./localisations/$1_localisation.txt ./build/$1/Localizable-$2.strings --format apple --lang $2 --include untranslated

where $1 and $2 are variables but they should be correct

[KlaartjeDB]

they work without the --include untranslated at least

[scelis]

I'm afraid it's hard to help without the exact command that ends up getting executed. Can you reproduce your issue with a vanilla twine command?

Hi,

I did what you asked and made a test, I understand it now. I was looking for --include translated instead. Sorry for taking up so much of your time

[scelis]

Glad you got it to work!
