@hiccup, it's window title text, when you click 'Save...' button.

@hiccup, it's window title text, when you click 'Save...' button.

Thnx!, I never knew that such a text in a Window panel could be overruled.
(I'm not even sure if that's a good idea)

#Tag.ctl.origalb#   original title:
#Main.field.177#   Original Title
#aTag.col.72458960#   original title

they must be "original album", not "original title" (original track title)?

[hiccup]

#Tag.ctl.origalb# original title:
#Main.field.177# Original Title
#aTag.col.72458960# original title

they must be "original album", not "original title" (original track title)?

my 2¢:
The first two will indeed refer to the title of an album, not to the title of a track.
But the third one does refer to track title. It is used in 'Auto-tag album'.
(and perhaps also in the CD-ripper, I'm not sure)

[boroda]

auto-tag by album: is 'artist' not localizable or am i missing something?

It's not showing in my translation either.
(nor in some others that I checked)

its missing - i will add it to the next file but if you want to check now it is:
#aTag.col.E8D2641A#   artist

[Steven]

#Tag.ctl.origalb# original title:
#Main.field.177# Original Title
#aTag.col.72458960# original title

they must be "original album", not "original title" (original track title)?

yes, use Original Album for the first two. I vaguely recall there was a late change i made so perhaps i forgot to update the localisation file. I have re-added it to the 3.5 file

this one is correct: #aTag.col.72458960# original title

edit> prefs> library: excessive word 'from'. maybe it must be placed onto the next line (but i would object to this), but it's not localized:

[boroda]

#Sys.ctl.8718212# album cover storage:

is now changed to: "downloaded album cover storage:". i think it's important.

[hiccup]

#Sys.ctl.8718212# album cover storage:
is now changed to: "downloaded album cover storage:". i think it's important.

In what panel/situation does this display?

[boroda]

edit> prefs> tags(1)

[Steven]

#Sys.ctl.8718212# album cover storage:

is now changed to: "downloaded album cover storage:". i think it's important.

the updated text is in the next v3.5 localisation file

it should be already there
#Sys.ctl.86F3C5C9#   from:

[boroda]

#Sys.ctl.86F3C5C9# from:

you are right. i vaguely recall that it was allowed in the past to have empty translation strings, e.g.

#Sys.ctl.86F3C5C9#<TAB><CR><LF>

obviously, this is not the case anymore. it's not a big problem for string #Sys.ctl.86F3C5C9# (i can use either #Sys.ctl.86F3C5C9#<TAB><SPACE><CR><LF> or #Sys.ctl.86F3C5C9#<TAB>с:<CR><LF> where "с:" is translated "from:"), but i can't use such workarounds in many other cases. could you add (or return?) support for empty localization strings?
