Searching for specific strings in existing translations

Asked by Miikka-Markus Alhonen

Is there any way in Launchpad to search for a given string in existing translations? Often I see typos in the interface of programs I use, but they're hard to fix here: Without being able to search for a string inside a specific software package, it's very time consuming and frustrating to manually browse through all, say, 1500 messages a single program might have, just to locate the string I know is incorrect.

I'm sorry for the slow response; I don't know how we could have missed your question for so long. We are working on search, but it may take some time (this is bug 44). Until then, the easiest way I've found to get to a specific message is to search for it in Google.

Can you help with this problem?
