From my understanding it will be necessary to duplicate the en text and add fr instead of en to the copy. This is possible using regex. And then you'll need to advise Studio to make ony fr available for translation.

This would be my second problem/question... after solvint the first one, to duplicate the entries... but: it's a long, long, list :-(

If the structure is as shown, this should work in a Regex delimited file type

Opening pattern ^[^"]*fr": "

Closing pattern ",$

For duplicating en

Search for \r\n([^"]*)"en": "(.+?)",

Replace \r\n\1"en": "\2",\r\n\1"fr": "\2", (using Regex in Notepad++)

That sounds crazy.... thnx... I with Notepad, but I get an error... can you please have a look?

Question: does the file have to have always the same languages, as some entries do not have NL for example.

You need to show line breaks in N++:

I think the languages in the file do not really matter.

However, I cannot be certain, if my method work. To make sure I would have to test with a real file. As at the moment I am in hurry to deliver my job, I can try later.

Hi Jerzy, search and replacement works if I leave out the \r at the beginning.

\n([^"]*)"en": "(.+?)", instead of

\r\n([^"]*)"en": "(.+?)",

But then i get an extra invisible sign -> CR in the original Englisch line.
I will try your solution in studio now and ask the customer to check if my translated file works in his system, despite the added CR.

Thnx a lot

That's because your file doesn't have the carriage return character (CR).

No problem, use this replacement pattern instead, without the CR:

\n([^"]*)"en": "(.+?)",
