When I enable translation for an additional storyboard and run the tool - it will delete .strings files for most of the previously translated storyboards

[vitalii-tym]

If I already have storyboards with .strings files, which were previously generated by the tool and later I run the tool again, the previously generated files are converted from .strings to .strings.deleted

Maybe I'm using the tool not properly. Please advice how to correctly do incremental runs if that's the case?

Unfortunately same thing happens when I add a new text to a storyboard, then uncheck and check English localization to make this text appear in the .strings file for en and then run the tool.
But with the added texts it is even worse: the new text is not translated at all, only some of existing translations removed.

In the programming world especially opensource world, there's not "unfortunate" anywhere. Only be the fixes or contribution. Thanks for a bunch of bug reporting but you could fix/improve them and contribute together with the pull request.

[vitalii-tym]

I will see if I can fix something. This is a good opportunity for me to learn some Python.

👍 Yeah, In fact this project is only for internally-use so the code is very dirty. Someday I have to clean all codes and upgrade to Py3.
