tongue-tied - issue #115

Empty Properties


Posted on Jun 13, 2011 by Massive Monkey

Version Info TongueTied: 1.4.0.Beta2 OS: ubuntu Java: 1.6 Browser: Any

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Create an empty property (key with no value) 2.Export java Properties 3.Empty properties will not be exported

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would expect an aempty property yo be exported. Sometimes we want to have the chance to add a text somewhere but at the moment there is no translation yet, so we want the text to be empty.

Here's a work-around, if you can live with a value of for a keyword.

  • Create a properties file with the needed keywords.
  • Use the UTF-8 code for as the keyword's value (ex. emptyKeyword=\u00A0).
  • Import the properties file into Tongue Tied.

The entries will be in Tongue Tied with a value of . When you generate a new properties file, these entries will be included.

I first tried entering a value of or various escaping sequences with the web interface, but that didn't work.
