Crowdin: [empty translation] is overridden by English translation

[HeyMyian]

There is a string Add that I translated as [empty translation] because no single word here makes sense in German. [empty translation] however did not carry over to the application, "Add" is still displayed. Is there a way to do this?

These are the strings for adding new chapters and scenes on the Welcome dialog I assume?

There is no way to insert the number selector in {0} entry point like for other text, but I may be able to rephrase it to a single string after the number selector. I think we addressed a similar issue on the old New Project Wizard.

Yes, that's where it is.

I added a custom layout box that can take a translated string with a {0} in it and insert the control widget at the {0}. It will handle any positioning in the string, so now it should behave the same way as a translated string with a value inserted.

The strings on the form are now:

• "Add {0} chapter documents"
• "Add {0} scene documents (to each chapter)"

You should now be able to drop the "Add" bit.

	class NWrappedWidgetBox(QHBoxLayout):
	"""Extension: A Text-Wrapped Widget Box
	A custom layout box where a widget is wrapped within the box. The
	widget is inserted at the {0} position so that it can be used for
	translation strings.
	"""
	def __init__(self, text: str, widget: QWidget) -> None:
	super().__init__()
	before, _, after = text.partition(r"{0}")
	if before:
	self.addWidget(QLabel(before.rstrip()))
	self.addWidget(widget)
	if after:
	self.addWidget(QLabel(after.lstrip()))
	return
	# END Class NWrappedWidgetBox

That works, thank you.

It does indeed work. Just tested with your new translation.
