Survey - how big is the percentage of hidden strings in Crowdin.

Translation
1

What is the number of hidden translation records on the project’s Crowdin platform.

  • I’m shooting that the problem affects one-sixth of the capacity of the entire base.
  • The amount of hidden strings is so small that I don’t notice it.
  • In my opinion, it is tooooooo BBBIIIG.
  • GUI translation problems have nothing to do with strings with the hidden attribute.
  • Half of the translation records (strings) are hidden.
  • Only two are hidden.
  • What is a string with an attribute hidden?
  • I was not aware of this problem until now.
  • Even if a third of the strings are hidden so what?
  • Or is it only one-tenth?

Life must be taken cheerfully. :mrgreen:
Even if brings trouble. :bulb:

The problem is a thankless one but let’s treat it as it deserves.
Do it cheerfully.

So let’s have fun and choose the craziest answers. :laughing: Among them is one close to the real situation.
You will do as you wish.
I warn you that the survey has a crazy configuration so test and have a good time. :mrgreen:

The answer “Kaktus go get some sleep because you are ranting ;-D” ran out of room. There are too few options to choose from.

thank you kaktus to put that on the table.

you helped me a lot as proofreader to identify to hidden string and eventually to put my translations. It is not the work of the proofreader to do such work, proofreader is a proof reader. It is also unfair for other translators/languages if they don’t have good exchange with a proofreader and this proofreader has time to do such task.

what is also frustrating is a translator might have wrongly translated the original string one day so the string was not hidden and for some mysterious reasons (in my eyes, but of course there must be an explanation) it is now hidden… so we read a bad translation on the GUI, and sometimes it is by random so you need to fix asap because you are not sure to find it again, but we can not modify it anymore.

if a string has to hidden, why not. there is a reason. On reverse a translated string turns hidden, we must not see that.

I won’t vote, too much sarcasm/funnification for me.

leaving aside the crazy content, you can approach the survey practically and test different options.
I expect that until now there was no such opportunity :ugeek:
