• First bug: I was just translating and typoed pressed save and crashed(no way the app knows how many characters it'll be), crash report:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=33; index=-1 at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:439) at t1.e.onClick(:3) at androidx.appcompat.app.AlertController$c.handleMessage(Unknown Source:37) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:106) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:223) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7669) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:592) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:947)

• Second bug: press report in the crash section, send it somewhere and press cancel. Crash report:

Application closes itself after importing any string. This happens on my Android 11.

The current search and replace functionality helps a lot when translating some strings. It would be even more powerful if users could further specify search queries using regular expressions.

This would be very useful, for example when you want to replace whole words, but not words that merely contain the search string:

Regex often offers \b as an option to delimit strings as words. The regular expression \bexam\b would therefore find a match in custom exam questions:, but not in see this example:.

I'm sure that also offering a regex search for the search-and-replace feature would have even more use cases than the one I've described. Users with regex knowledge could greatly profit from it and refine their search results to those that they've envisioned.

Hello,

it is unfortunate that there is no menu or button to copy the source text to the clipboard for each translation item.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

• As you can see, the translated string line are being appended an extra "" at the end , sometimes twice - [Fixed]
• If you're translating the last strings, i.e the recycler view is scrolled to bottom, when you're done translating it hard-scrolls back to top (maybe you're calling notifyDatasetChanged() instead of itemChanged?) - [Fixed]
• I'd like an option to see what was the original string even after I hit OK when translating, so that I can know that I didn't messed up - [In progress]
• Translation progress is very welcome - [To-do]
• You can consume Google Translate API for some advanced stuff too - [To-do]

Often times it is useful to also be able to see the original string after it was translated.

At the moment, after a translation string is translated and the list of translation strings is redrawn (for example by entering and leaving the options overflow menu), there's no easy way to see what see what the original string was or to recheck whether the entered translation fits the given string.

A way to tackle this request could be by showing the original string above the textbox used for setting the translation string, instead of just prefilling the textbox with the original string.

When searching a string, other strings it's deleting and I can't go back (Android 13)

One of the strings of this app contains illegal characters, except I believe they are correct:

Some character\'s are considered illegal in \'xml\' format and are not acceptable! Please be noted that the entire text will be neglected (or even app crashes in the worst case) when an illegal character is detected!\n\nSome of the prohibited character\'s includes, but not limited to\n& - except for certain words\n< and > -except for certain cases such as <b>, </b>, <i>, </i> etc.\nSingle (\') or double (\") quotation marks without a backward slash (\\) in the front, etc.

The issue seems to be with >b<. This prevents me from translating it properly. Are you interpreting it twice?

How about making all characters legal and escaping when saving the string instead? That would be much less confusing for translators.

I want to translate this app to Esperanto, but i don't know how to submit it to you when i done.

• Keep the scroll/list position as already mentioned by others - [Fixed]
• I found it difficult to identify if /'string/' was code or had to be translated. There should be a hint how to identify code within the texts to make sure it stays untouched - [To-do]
• I was wondering about occurred when I had to swap the positions of %s and the translated word. When I pressed OK to save it didn't and came back with the untranslated phrase. It saved though after translating and pressing OK for a second time - [To-do]

Within the search and replace feature, the textbox placeholder hint is styled the same way as the input. Placeholder hints in textboxes are often stlyed more subtly than the input, so users can distinguish between the two.

Setting the placeholder text style to a dimmer color, and/or using italics, would make the distinction between placeholder and input text more clear.

Good app, but there is an option missing that would help a lot for those who are translating, showing the string above the text to be translated, as it only shows the text to be translated, in cases where there is doubt in the translation because the string is not visible, we lose the visibility of information that could help us decide the correct translation
