open launchpad translation window from OpenERP
* the search function for terms is only available at module level
How should a translator find a string if he does not know exactly to which module the string belongs
this is especially true for wizards which collect code form various modules (base_setup configuration wizard) - this one can only be translated find/grep the src-string in the code to identify the module.
very time consuming and sometimes does not give unique results - Example "Skip" in configuration wizard.
a lot of words can not be translated out of context (at, state, .. for German translation) as they have multiple meanings in other languages.
Suggestion:
the "translate label" wizard should get an icon which opens the launchpad translation page for the specific language and module and searches for the term(s) to translate.
the string to send is pretty much forward - example:
module=account
language=de
search=kreditor
a problem might be to find the branch (openobject-addons) - IMHO this info is not available at module level in OpenERP
It would be even more simple add the update automatically to launchpad and to sent a request to the official translation team. I do not know if the outline of translation process is already set up.
The current Launchpad translation is extremely time consuming for projects like OpenERP with many modules. To check for changed and or untranslated strings for each module (now 116 and 223 extra addons are not there yet) IMHO it will become unmanageable.
* open module
* select language
* change show untranslated
* save
* display module list
it would be very helpful to get a function in Launchpad or OpenERP which does the check automatically and opens the terms to translate one after the other.
