Inserting alt-trans matches in target

j17

I am testing the trial version of Xliff Editor 2.6.6 on macOS 10.14.5.
The menu option to insert alt-trans matches is unavailable on my system when selecting any of the existing alt-trans entries in XLIFF 1.2 files. Is this feature only available in the paid version?

@j17 it should be working, are you able to send me an xliff file which has this behaviour.

@SweetP Yes, I sent one by email. Thanks.

SweetP

strange, it works for me with the file you sent.
which language is your macOS system set too?

j17

@SweetP My system is set to "English" for the language and "France" for the region. I tried adding "English (United Kingdom)", which is the target language of the test file, to the preferred languages and made it the primary language. I also tried restarting the computer with this language change activated. In both cases, the menu option "Edit > Insert <alt-trans> into Target" in Xliff Editor is unavailable (greyed-out) when I select any alt-trans node.

SweetP

the menu is only active on the actual alt-trans nodes, they will have a "half-pie" icon:
alt text

@SweetP It's not active for me on any of those nodes. I'd like to upload an image of how the menu looks for each of them, but I get an error message here when I try to do that.

j17

@j17 I've sent you that image by email.

@SweetP I've just discovered that the contextual menu is active when I right-click on an alt-trans node (even though the Edit menu option is not). Insertion to target works this way. But shouldn't both menu options be active?

SweetP

Ok,
That’s a bug then, I’ll get that fixed

@SweetP Great. Thanks, Russell.
