Set up SDL Passolo to show changes in String IDs during update string list

Article Number:000013526 | Last Updated:9/15/2020 10:15 AM

Scope/Environment

SDL Passolo 2018

Symptoms/Context

While extracting string lists from .NET projects, you find that SDL Passolo has modified some string IDs, and you want to display the changes.

Wrong ID:
dxCheckbox1.EditControl.Caption

Correct ID:
dxCheckbox1.EditControl.Properties.Caption

Resolution

To display any changes made to string IDs, add the following code to the CommonSettings.xml file available under AppData\Roaming\SDL\Passolo 2018\AddIn\Microsoft .NET Parser\

<Parse>
  <Option name="ShowStringIDChanges" value="yes" />
</Parse>

To revert to the previous behaviour, add the following code to the same file:

<Parse>
 <Option name="DisableStringIDFix" value="yes" />
</Parse>

Root Cause

Passolo CU11 fixes the issue CRQ-20693 which prevented IDs for strings with subcontrols to be extracted completely.
The target application would not use the translations for such subcontrols.
