Re: [poedit-users] Expression lookup in TM?

Hi, thanks for your reply

Well, the search tool works well when you want to search in the current
catalog, that's right. But there are situations where it would be useful
to search in the entire TM.

Just imagine the current catalog is untranslated -for example, you want
to translate an application that has not been translated to your
language before- and you need to know how a specific expression was
translated by other people, in different projects, to keep coherence.

You could select that expression -comprising one or several words- in
the original field, right-click it and choose "look up expression". Then
a window would pop up, showing entries from all the TM that contain that
selected expression, or similar ones. The exact ones first, of course.

Do you think that would be a feature worth having?
