Support for shouldTranslate in xcstrings format

Is Crowdin supposed to be supporting the "shouldTranslate": false attribute in an xcstrings file? I just modified an xcstrings file to include these and updated the file on the Crowdin website, but these strings are still visible to translators.

FWIW, I haven’t found any documentation of what the xcstrings schema looks like, but you can add this UI in XCode by right- or ctrl- clicking on a string in an xcstrings file and choosing Mark as "Don't Translate".

Hi @kueda , you’re welcome to check the currently supported fields and .xcstrings file sample by the following link:

There is nothing on that page about the shouldTranslate attribute. If you don’t support it, then please consider this a request for this feature: if "shouldTranslate: false is present, the string should be hidden from translators on Crowdin.

Hi @kueda

Many thanks for your suggestion, we’ll consider this for sure.

The internal task 51579 is added to our product improvement roadmap.
