Fw: Re: How to Lokalize / Glossary / Add new Entries

Hello Agron and Charlotte,

first of all: Glossary in Lokalize works fine for me.

To reproduce your issue I have created a new Lokalize project and opened 
Glossary window. Inserting new items is as described by Agron:

 > Nothing sticks

But due to the fact that for me Glossary is working fine and statement 
of Charlotte:

I have made some trials and found a workaround:

1. While creating a new project in Lokalize some project fields are 
prefilled. Also Glossary path is prefilled with an absolute path and 
pointing to a file named "terms.tbx". But if you check inside of this 
path for this file, you will not find it.

2. Creating an empty file "terms.tbx" e. g. by command "touch terms.tbx" 
will not help. Additionally you have to put following content into this 
file and save it:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE martif PUBLIC 'ISO 12200:1999A//DTD MARTIF core 
(DXFcdV04)//EN' 'TBXcdv04.dtd'>
<martif type="TBX" xml:lang="en">
   <martifHeader>
     <fileDesc>
       <titleStmt>
         <title>Your Team Glossary</title>
       </titleStmt>
     </fileDesc>
     <encodingDesc>
       <p type="DCSName">SYSTEM "TBXDCSv05b.xml"</p>
     </encodingDesc>
   </martifHeader>
   <text>
     <body>
     </body>
   </text>
</martif>

3. Now just close and reopen Lokalize project and you Glossary will work!

Best regards

Alexander
