I'm using Passolo Translator 2009 and am looking for a way to display the white spaces in my translation. Is there any such feature?
Thanks a lot,
Britta

Please describe the problem Jul 11, 2010

Hello Britta,

I don't think that "this is a text" will be displayed like "thisisatext". So it would be helpful if you can try to describe the problem more exactly.

Clarification Jul 12, 2010

Hi Achim,

you're right, that's not what I meant.
I'm looking for a way to display the white spaces as symbols (like a little red dot or something like that).
Hopefully this is clearer now.

Thanks,
Britta

I suppose a workaround is possible.
You should check a modded font, e.g. a font created by DVX or MQ users (e.g. Calibri by Denis Hay) and force it as a default font for your language.
It should work but :
- the display may be a little bit incorrect
- you should restore the default font assignments in the output files but it should be simple (a simple search'n'replace should do).

PS.
I never tested it... normally I see double spaces

Cheers

It works Jul 13, 2010

Hello Grzegorz,

Thank you for this useful hint. I just tested it and it works. If you don't use the font within dialogs, there is no need to change it back.

There are only a few changes and from my point og view the white space dot is very small, even if you have enlarged the edit field to 150%.

On the other hand I would like to see more special characters visualized in this mode like → for the TAB character and ↵ for new line characters.

The feature is on your internal wish list but adding it to the SDL ideas side will increase it's priority.
