Add 'last changed date(time)' to multilingual

Like many others of you, I read from the ideas, we also have problems indicating changed/new labels.

When you add a new label, the label will be indicated 'To be defined', but when you copy another label, the translation will be same a the old one, and it's it's indication is 'Translation'. And also, if you change a label, the indication won't change back to 'To be defined.

So, how can we identify that a label have to be reviewed? We have hundreds of labels to translate and every Sprint there are some changes. It's impossible to review all the labels again and again.

Since my idea of putting those changed labels back into 'To be defined' is rejected by OutSystems since users only doing typos have to put everything back into 'Translate'  again... I got a better idea now. Let's add a last_changed_date(time) so we can sort on that field and only check the labels we changed recently.

Please like this idea to get this into attention of our Outsystems IDE developers.

Also note that not all labels get "not defined" by default, it depends on the type of text whether it gets "translate", "don't translate" or "not defined".

Hi Kit,

That's a great idea.

Although we do not have short term plans for it I'll put it on our radar so we can take a look at it in a future version.

Thanks,
Tiago Simões

Hi Kit Lam!!

I was thinking of putting up an idea like this, but I've seen that it was on the radar so I just support this one and complete it.

I think that the indication change back to 'To be defined', it would not be a "good" option, let me explain. I have a big factory, and we use external profesional translators. Come back to "To be define", would force us to have to mark them again as "translate", but when we send the excels to the translators, they wouldn't know which ones are new and which ones they have to review, we would be in the same situation.

So your idea of "put" a datetime mark, or put a mark that it has been modified since the last translation, it would be a good solution.

All my factory team will support you idea, I hope Tiago review this soon, more than two years have passed since his comment.


Regards,
Carlos.

Hi Kit Lam, And Hello Outsystems Staff Team. 

We, like SO many others, also have this very same issue. 

The Multilingual tool is great, but to administrate translation without being able to se what has change sine last review, is just a pain!. (we have around 600 translations to manage atm.)

So, this is more a cry out to the Outsystems team to please take this in as soon as you can. 

It has been 3 YEARS since this proposal was created....... seems to me to be a low hanging fruit. :(

I strongly support this idea. It is still a huge pain to review all the labels for recent changes. Such a pity this is not implemented yet, even after 4 years. :(
