problem with translation of the hint property

[stefanoa]

I have to translate all text in my app and i'm using AHLocale and AHTranslator.

Everything works except for the hint property

example:
surnameEditText.text =trans.GetText("Surname") >>> OK
amountEditText.Hint =trans.GetText("Amount") >>> does NOT WORK

any ideas?
thanks

What error do you get? What is the value of trans.GetText("Amount")?

 

[stefanoa]

no error, does not translate the hint property (amountEditText.Hint =trans.GetText("Amount")).

the fields with EditText.text work correctly.

in file myapp_it.lng:

.....
New\ Event=Nuovo\ Evento
Alarm=Allarme
Alarm\ Date=Data\ Allarme
Alarm\ Time=Ora\ All.
Amount=Importo
.....


thanks

Look in the log. GetText writes every call to the log so you can see the translation.

Check your file contents. If the key is missing GetText returns the same text as you gave it to translate and writes it to the MissingtranslationMap.
