My thoughts exactly.
I only first used the translator the other day.
Then after some program additions i wanted to translate the new strings,
but first i needed to check they all wanted translating so i had to scroll
through everything, set anything to not translate i didn't want to, then
hit the auto-translate menu.

Most certainly the ability to see only the non filled items is very useful.

I submitted a merge Benoit.  basically 3 changes

1. Show progress as btnMenu.text
2. Use Wait 0.1 to workaround gtk3 bug
3. Add 'Hide Filled' menu item (checkbox toggle) to btnMenu items that only
leaves empty items visible.
 . run 'if mnuHideFilled.Enabled Then mnuHideFilled_Click' at end of
SetLang to refresh items if loading another language.


Awesome feature this auto-translate Ben, I auto-translated my program to
various languages.  no idea if it makes sense in those languages or not,
Apparently the German wasn't perfect but someone kindly made some
adjustments :)
I'm sure if used it in a badly translated language it's going to make more
sense than English if you don't understand English.
very useful feature :)

Thank you
