How to translate greyed out menu options with Passolo

Jose Morales

Hi there!

I am translating a small programe and it seems that the options that are greyed out in the menu do not appear as localizable in Passolo.

I have translated everything and these two do not appear. Is there any way I could get access to these? There are other options that are greyed out but that I can translate such as "Eliminar" in the same menu.

Screenshot of SubCreator software with the 'Editar' dropdown menu open, showing 'Undo' and 'Redo' options greyed out and not selectable.

I have transated the same strings but they only appear as translatable when they are not greyed out.

Screenshot of Passolo localization software with a list of menu items, including 'Undo' and 'Redo', showing corresponding Spanish translations and shortcut keys.

Could you please advise?

Cheers,

Jose

    I don't see a problem at all. Menu resources imported from the software into Passolo are never grayed out. Disabling menu entries in a software (which grays them out) is a runtime function of the software itself and not related to Passolo. I don't speak Spanish, but isn't Undo=Deshacer and Redo=Rehacer? Both entries are shown in the menu editor.

    In the end we all don't know how a running software is handling the resources at runtime, and it might happen that you properly translated everything, but at runtime the developer decided to take the strings from elsewhere. This is why I always evangelize, that software localization is a team effort that also involves the developers.
