What do I do with empty tokens?

[Suomis]

For example #app_6550_note?


Tried to post this on a suggested sub forum here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1197153

But

I cannot find app_6550_note and the appropriate store page does not seem to have a "note" section. Just suggest it blank.

About that thread, it should have been moved to the public forums a while ago...

[Suomis]

I can not suggest a blank token :S

Report it to translationserver@valvesoftware.com

Alt + 0160

Done.

Alt + 0160

Does what?

[ultio]

Alt + 0160 creates an invisible character (aka space). But that's not the appropriate way to approach this, don't do that.

The thread you're linking to is in the subforum for all translators who signed up during the beta. Since you e-mailed Torsten, things should all work out. Either the token a) stays blank/place-holder, b) gets removed, or c) gets filled in.

[Hachach19]

I already emailed them about this over a week ago.

Of course I didn't get a response, yet.

[Esat]

Get in touch with Torsten.

[Suomis]

Already emailed.

Already emailed.

I was talking to Hachach19.

[Torsten]

Token #app_6550_note is now empty for all languages. Yes, please simply report such tokens here and I'll fix them asap across languages (Alt + 0160 is acceptable as a workaround and does not seem to cause any issues in Turkish so far).

[Suomis]

Do we use this thread, make a new thread or use an existing thread for reports?

Thank you for PM'ing me that email.

I've seen 6 empty tokens so far. I emailed translationserver about it but I didn't get a response yet.The tokens are located in Danish GAMES/HL2/HALF-LIFE2/Closecaption or here (http://translation.steampowered.com/translate.php?search_input=&branch_ID=8&file_ID=22&lang=danish&t=1292274800&suggested=1)

Actually, I'd strongly discourage using it.

Use   if you must (it's also good to add a leading/trailing space to strings where the localized version needs one, as the server trims real space characters from the beginnging/end of suggestions), since it's html friendly as opposed to inserting a "hardspace" character directly which you can't even see being there in edit mode.

Unless it's a game string, in which case it's not suitable (but I'm not sure about a hardspace either).

[Suomis]

I think I wont use anything on em, Ill just report em here.

Ok, I fixed those six tokens across languages too. Thanks for reporting them here.
