We need one special target language for test purposes only (we choosed the Tatar language for that).
The test target is exactly the same as the english target with the only small difference being that each text will be prefixed by a special character (in our case ▲).
Is it possible to auto-translate this target after "Create/Update String List" button is used?
The requirement is not really clear. Any target language can be auto-translated, but you need a TM with Tatar as target language to get this done. Using Tatar for the purpose you described is not really best practice. It looks like a simulation /pseudo-translation which is a feature of Passolo that called via UI and automation.
I used Tatar language as a target because I did't know better way.
Is there any instruction on how to use "simulation /pseudo-translation feature" in Passolo?
I tried this feature and it works. Thanks for advice.
Now I need to add:
▲ prefix for translated strings
▼ prefix for non-translated strings
▽ prefix for read-only strings
Do I need to use a macro PSL_OnSimulateTranslation event for this?
Did you noticed my second question?
Yes, sure. I saw your second question. I would like to point out that although I am the owner of the Passolo forum, I only maintain it in my spare time. If I am prevented by other commitments such as trade shows or customer RFPs, it may take me some time to respond. The forum cannot replace support and there are no guaranteed response times. I will try to answer your question this week.
The standard Simulation/Pseudo-Translation feature can be configured to add various prefix or suffix characters, but there is no way to make the addition depending on the status of the string.
In such cases, you need to use a system macro and implement PSL_OnSimulateTranslation callback. Here you can change the string depending on the status of the string entry.
