Peter "Kian" Hansen from my Danish translation team has offered to code an ampersand checker. I thought I'd go ahead and check first whether something like this was available already...

So, has anyone made such a program?

Look at MsgPlus Hotkey Checker - 1.1.3. Read the whole thread, you'll see that making such program and that it works 100% correctly is nearly impossible. However, you can try

Thanks. I'm sure the tool is better than nothing.

lol, apparently I even replied to that thread myself. I had completely forgotten about it, but then again it was 2 years ago. And I never even got around to testing it back then.

LOL my old piece of code I hope it's still useful to a degree

I seriously considered adding some sort of "definitions" so it detects which entries should be checked against each other, but doing that (and keeping it updated!) would be such an enormous task that it's better to do it by hand at every new release.
Anyway it's good as an overall tester.

well... i stopped the programming thing - its like pretty impossible to prorgame a program without any logic structure... the sections are like a mess compared to the visual menus... no logic at all so... filestatus: closed

yeah, exactly why I gave up back then... it's certainly possible to do a program, but it would take so much effort to produce and maintain that it's simpler to check the damn ampersands manually

heh well - its a bit - well - silly that the sections arent sorted so that the menus fit - i dont see the reason why they arent fitting. It would be nice if they did though...

Anyway - i am not going to make a program that should be updated like always... thats silly (and i am not silly )

well let's file an official request for Patchou to make the language files of Plus! 5 friendlier but that's likely to be years from now so we can take our time

Well... its not more complex to split the sections into logical structure than translating it all from sctrach as we have done a couple of times (two times?)...

But seriously: Patchou! do the logic-structure-thing!!!

three times for me... 2.10, 3.00 and 4.00 if I recall correctly

anyway, maybe next time
