Old translated strings still available?

[keunes]

I'm sure I have translated a string before with the warning about the necessity of a plugin for variable speed to work. This translation never made it into the app and has now been removed from Transifex as the source string was replaced.

The relatively long string changed only a little, however, and I would prefer to update my previous translation rather than thinking of a new one. Would it be possible to recover this string somehow?

That is either a Transifex question or a git question.... [cough]

Transifex: http://docs.transifex.com/faq/#what-happens-when-i-update-my-source-files

For git: https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/tree/develop/core/src/main/res
Go into the corresponding values- folder and click strings.xml
Maybe click history and search for an older version

Bless you, and get well soon. You should get some honey and lemon tea for your cough, it tastes really nice :S
Stating 'the string never made it to the app' I meant that it's not in git... Anyways.

Thanks for the link, but it didn't get me any further:

• Strings from the old resource that don't appear in the new source file will be removed from your Project (along with their translations).
• Remember, the Translation Memory will keep the old pairs of source strings and their translations for future use.

So the string is not in the project anymore, but it's still in the Translation Memory. Are you, or anyone with the project manager role, capable of accessing the Translation Memory database? I couldn't find any info on this,

I have not been able to figure this out. I find transifex to be rather
confusing and hard to use.

I wish they were, but I don't believe so. @mfietz and I are trying to work out how we can improve it to avoid problems like this in the future.

Very sorry about your work being lost. :(

Allright.
Thanks

Update: The old string which was saved in the translation memory, now does show up under 'suggestions'. Apparently it takes a while for strings to be processed and matched. So luckily I didn't have to translate it fully again.
