Commented Unassigned: Reuse Translations via Scripting? [4752]

Hi Tom,

I see there is a new scripting module and am excited to get it working for my use case. We have a LOT of files and entries (and a dozen or so locales), and many of the neutral values end up being duplicates (and I want to reuse those translations for the other locales). I often go into your tool to reuse existing translations after a batch comes back from the translators.

Is that functionality available via the scripting module? Can you put together a sample or at least point me in the right direction?

My steps to Reuse Translations using your tool are as follows:
1. Open your tool within my solution
2. Click "Translate" tab at the bottom of the screen
3. Make sure Bing and MyMemory are unchecked (not enabled)
4. Click Apply All button

Thanks in advance,
--Ed

What it does is:
- get a string in language "X" where text is empty
- get the neutral text for the string
- find other entrie(s) where the neutral strings match and the text in language "X" is not empty
- update the first string with the translation of the second string

That's all, you just need to do this in a script or simple .net application.
