Hi again,

I think that the opencti is a good tool to translate but has a lot of
small usability problems that make the translation more difficult.


Issue 1:

The translations are showed on just one row. This forces me to look from
one point of the screen to another to comparate the strings. I mean:

"This is the original string" - "This is the translated string"

read the previous phrase is more complicated than the next:

"This is the original string"
"This is the translated string"


Issue 2:

The translations that don't fit on the cell aren't fully showed . I mean:

"This string will be cutted 'cause doesn't fit on .."||

when || means the border of the cell.

The solution comes with splitting the string on different lines but on
the same row.


Issue 3:

Different font sizes on the work section. The button's text are
oversized and the table's text is small.


Issue 4:

When you click on a sidebar's buttom all the translations done are
deleted. Example:

If you have the Tools Sidebar opened, by clicking on the "Minus" buttom
on the tools sidebar all the translations done are deleted.


And now some improvements that will be great to implement.

Improvement 1:

Interface doesn't have a "Go to next untranslated string". Without that
this forces me to go trought all the translated files to find the
untranslated ones.
I can use the "Show non-translated segmen" but I what to show them
'cause those provides me contextual information.

Improvement 2:

the explorer tab doesn't show the number of strings. This helps to
prioritize one file over others.

I hope this helps with improving the tool and makes the translators more
happier. I'm not happy right now with the tool but I want to improve it.

Greetings
