Translation auto save
« on: March 03, 2023, 11:13:15 AM »
Hi guys,
Can you make translation in backend to auto save? You don't want to hear me after translating an hour then while saving, being logged out by browser cookie expire an losing all translation. Please don't advise to use poedit. I wait for this version just for translation feature in backend.

It might have negative impact, i.e. if you do not want to actually save :)
I recommend to save regularly.
  To get fast support, we need following details: Detail description, URL to reproduce problem, Screenshots

Don't use the dashboard's translation tool -- use poedit. It's a way better and it also has the remember/suggest feature. So if you translated some phrase, and another phrase (the same or similar) exists in some other translation, poedit would prompt to use it (with different probability). And also ctrl +s works, so you won't loose anything. :)

For what in the world wouldn't you want to save? That's the only reason you work there, to save it. At least make it optional(auto save if you want only) and wait for feedbacks. Bet you will get anyone.

To save regularly takes you out of the position you are, then you got to get back there with several clicks. For those who spent time on PCs maybe you realized that clicks are the web cancer. One here, another one there and you might find yourself doing a completely different thing and by the time you're on track again the day is gone 🙂

I know. I even bought the pro version, so, it translates automatically. But once again clicks, clicks, clicks, extra clicks which are the new garbage. If you misspelled something then clicks clicks clicks to fix it if in meantime you don't shift to another clicky shit online

Of course, there's always the other option of increasing login times:

Code: [Select]
session_set_cookie_params(2592000);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 2592000);

I don't recommend it for production. I do everything on dev --> staging and push to production after quality testing.

But If you really needed autosave, add/activate tinymce for the translation boxes and enable the autosave plugin. Remember to edit in plain text mode and disable saving in html.
