Should it for fuzzy translation? > I don't know what it *should* do? I can say what I'd have expected though. If I allow fuzzy matches, then I don't really care about the settings. If I'd do exact match only (and/or allow translation of single words), then I'd have expected KBabel to respect the settings. Whether that's the right way to behave or not, I don't know, it's simply what I would have expected without much thought. >fuzzy search/exact search = fuzzy translation is/is not allowed in rough >translation dialog. > >We have 4 cases here: >1) use settings, do exact search >2) don't use settings, do exact search >3) use settings, do fuzzy search >4) don't use settings, do fuzzy search > >4) does not make too much sense. The cases 1) and 2) cause the problem. >It boils down to the question: "What do a user expect?" 1) or 2). It seems >Bernd expects 1) to be the case. However, KBabel currently uses 1). > Yep, that's what I'd expect, not claiming my expectations would be the most general and should be applied in any case! :-) But if I use the PO-Compendium, I somehow need to respect the settings in there too. Which means I can have fuzzy match disabled in the rough translation dialog, but enabled in the PO-Compendium dialog. Which one should I use then? Does KBabel consider the settings in the PO-Compendium for the rough translations at all, i.e. 'Case sensitive'?
