Bilingual with two columns
Hi all
I have 2 text field:
-----------------
Text Field a: paragraph Language A
Ax xxx /
Att t/
Az zz /
Appp pp ppp/
Text Field b: paragraph Language B
Bl/
Byy yyy/
B qqqq/
B uuu uu/
----------------------
Calculation Field bilingual a&b:
Table view:
No. | Language a | Language b
1 | Ax xxx | Bl
2| Att t | Byy yyy
3| Az zz | B qqqq
4 | Appp pp ppp | B uuu uu
….
if possible, please tell me how can create this table-calculation (bilingual a&b) or other solution?
Many thanks

You can try this:
var a = @text field a.replace(/(<*?>)|\n|\r/g,"").split("/");
var b = @text field b.replace(/(<*?>)|\n|\r/g,"").split("/");
var rows = [];
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
rows.push(i + ". | " + a[i] + " | " + b[i]);
};
"No. | Language a | Language b \n" +
"--- | --- | --- \n" +
rows.join("\n")The problem are the automatically set html tags in the text fields (like <p> text </p> for paragraphs). .replace(/(<*?>)|\n|\r/g,"").split("/"); removes some, but if there are other they can mess up the table.
If so please sharea screenshot of the calculation where the preview is shown.

Vielen Dank Herr Rainer ,
You are superman :), my calculation field is “wunderbar”
I have still one: I have other calculation field “Target Text”:
- Orginal Text (text field) : aaaaa. Bbbbb . ccccc.
- Target Text (calculation field) will:
aaaa/
Bbbbb/
Ccccc/
How can display Calculation “Target text” ?
1. change / replace dot “.” after the end of each sentence in Original Text to “/”character and if any: don’t change other dot “.” that not end of sentence
2. Remove all hyperlink in Orginal Text
3, Line break after each new changed character “/” : each sentence put in each different row
Do you any idea or other solution?
Thanks so much

thanks Rainer,
example for "if any, don’t change other dot “.” that not end of sentence"
"Podio - We are proud to announce a new way to use Podio with enhanced security features and the 1. option to manage your employees with 1. Sign-on (SSO)."
3 dots (.) in this above sentence:
a. the 1. option
b. with 1. Sign-on
c. (SSO).
and only dot in (c) that end of sentence. and if any, i will change this dot (.) to /
Other dots (.) in a, b will not change.
i think that hard to find dot that end of sentence
Danke sehr

That's to achieve is there would be only this sentence. But if other sentences follow - I'm afraid it's impossible for your example. I've a solution which works if there follows a capital letter after the dot only for a new sentence. But in your example Sign-on is in the middle of the sentence and starts with a capital letter, so my solution would set a / line break there.
Is this a real life example?
Podio - We are proud to announce a new way to use Podio with enhanced security features and the 1. option to manage your employees with 1. Sign-on (SSO). Then follows sentence 2. Followed be sentence three.If I understand you right, you want / and line break at this points:
(SSO)/
2/
three/Right?
-
Hi Rainer,
You are right.
For multi dot(.) in same sentence is may be impossible.
My solutiom:
Step 1: i will manually delete/change dot (.) in each sentence that not end of sentence.And then in each sentence has only one (.) at end
Step 2: use formula calculation fied to change dot (.) to / and break line each sentence.
Can you help me for step 2?

Hi Ninh,
bitte sehr :)Text:
Podio - We are proud to announce a new way to use Podio with enhanced security features and the 1. option to manage your employees with 1. Sign-on (SSO). Then follows sentence 2. Followed be sentence three.
Calculation:
var str = @Text
b = str.replace(/([.?])\s*(?=[A-Z])/g, "$1|").split("|");
var c = [];
for(i = 0; i < b.length; i++){
c.push(b[i].substr(0,b[i].lastIndexOf(".")) +"/");
};
c.join("\n")Result:
Podio - We are proud to announce a new way to use Podio with enhanced security features and the 1. option to manage your employees with 1/
Sign-on (SSO)/
Then follows sentence 2/
Followed be sentence three/Rainer

==============
All text converted good but Issue in 2 place:
- end of paragraph: “ in new ways.” not converted to “in new ways//”
- end or Header : “1 - IoT and Smart Home Tech.” => “1 - IoT and Smart Home Tech//”
Bitte, tell me how to fix it?
Danke sehr

awesome, all is correct.
Sie sind deutsche superman :)
ich have noch bilingual calculation field, that need your help:
==============
Original text Field (Eng-German):
THE SEARCH FOR LORNA
DIE SUCHE NACH LORNA
Daisy Hamilton was a private detective.
Daisy Hamilton war Privatdetektivin.
She was thirty years old and had been a detective for the past two years.
Sie war dreissig Jahre alt und arbeitete seit zwei Jahren in diesem Beruf.
==============================
Now i want to separate this original Text field (Eng-German) to 2 different language field (calculations field)
English Field: only English and character “//”
THE SEARCH FOR LORNA //
Daisy Hamilton was a private detective.//
She was thirty years old and had been a detective for the past two years//
German Field: only German and character “//”
DIE SUCHE NACH LORNA //
Daisy Hamilton war Privatdetektivin. //
Sie war dreissig Jahre alt und arbeitete seit zwei Jahren in diesem Beruf.//
Note: each sentence end with "/" and break line
Do you have any idea?
vielen Dank und ein shoenes Wochenende

Hi Ninh,
it's not possible to detect the language in a calculation field. But if your original text field always has the same structure.
English line break Geman line break English line break Geman line break ... and so on
it's possible.English field:
var a = @Text.replace(/\n\n/g,"\n").split("\n")
var l =[];
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
if(i % 2 > 0){
l.push(a[i] + "//");
}};
l.join("\n")German field:
var a = @Text.replace(/\n\n/g,"\n").split("\n")
var l =[];
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
if(i % 2 == 0){
l.push(a[i] + "//");
}};
l.join("\n")Rainer

Hi Herr Rainer,
i saw the number that separeted in 2 lines
Break line in number : No., please see in calcualtion.
How can this number (No.) in only one line?
17: right
wrong:
1
7
Note: i zoom screen from 30%-100% but result is same, (mobile or laptop)
Calculation
"
var a = @text field a.replace(/(<*?>)|\n|\r/g,"").split("/");
var b = @text field b.replace(/(<*?>)|\n|\r/g,"").split("/");
var rows = [];
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
rows.push(i + ". | " + a[i] + " | " + b[i]);
};
"No. | Language a | Language b \n" +
"--- | --- | --- \n" +
rows.join("\n")" -
In markdown tables you can't really control the width of the cells(you can't define the width and you can't have line beaks in a cell). The text in one or multiple cells in the other columns is too long and pushes the first column together.
You can try this, but I'm not sure if it really helps:
rows.push("nbsp;nbsp;" + i + ".nbsp;nbsp;"| " + a[i] + " | " + b[i]);
};
"nbsp;nbsp;No.nbsp;nbsp; | Language a | Language b \n" +
"--- | --- | --- \n" +
rows.join("\n")Or you can try to right align second and third column:
"--- | ---: | ---: \n" +
But as I said, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem. I've developed a solution for such problems, but it's much too complex to share it here in the forum. With this solution I can control the cell width and simulate linebreaks in cells,

Sorry Herr Rainer,
i use your formula : b = str.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)|\*|\n|\r/ig,"").replace(/([.?])\s*(?=[A-Z0-9])/g, "$1|").split("|");
all situation are good.
Still 2 situation that not work:
a/ 1. sentence end with "?" or "!"
b/ 2. sentence begin with " or '
in these situation a & b: sentence can not break line and replace //
my solution in a situation : add manually one dot (.) after ? or !
Can this formula improve please?
Thanks
-
Just replace ! and ? by !. and ?. and add " and ' in the condition for waht should follow after a dot (till now it was capital letter or number)
b = str.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)|\*|\n|\r/ig,"").replace(/!/g,"!.").replace(/\?/g,"?.").replace(/([.?])\s*(?=[A-Z0-9'"])/g, "$1|").split("|"); -
Danke Herr Rainer,
For english: all are good
For deutsch: some umlaut charaters as Ä, Ö, Ü, ß (capital Letter) begin in 2. sentence.
And can not break line.
Example: ich will hier bleiben. Üben, denken,...
Can i fix this issue with formula:
b = str.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)|\*|\n|\r/ig,"").replace(/!/g,"!.").replace(/\?/g,"?.").replace(/([.?])\s*(?=[A-ZÄÖÜß0-9'"])/g, "$1|").split("|"); -
Sehr geehrter Herr Rainer,
I have one issue with charater “ in 2.sentence in converted - process.
- Sentence can not add “//” and break line if 2. Sentence begin with “ : NOT always converted for expected result
Please see attacked images:
2 sentences have same structur, begin with “ but:
Sentence A: “Focusing on developing” ….: work well for 1. Sentence : add // and break line
Sentence B: “We had a bit…” : don’t work for 1. Sentence : not add // and don’t break line
I used this formula with your help:
b = str.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)|\*|\n|\r/ig,"").replace(/!/g,"!.").replace(/\?/g,"?.").replace(/([.?])\s*(?=[A-Z0-9'"])/g, "$1|").split("|");I think this situation is hard to solve :)
Danke im Voraus

Danke Herr Rainer,
gut funktioniert mit new replace formula
Do you have idea about short word/abbreviation: Mr. A or Ms. B or other short word?
How can i add some short word into formula? Then after dot (.) and Capital Letter of these short words: not add // and not break line?
Thank you

Hallo Herr Rainer,
I have 3 App: Article (as grand Parent), Sentence (as Parent) and Word (as child)
In 2 App sentence and word some field calculation are good with help of Herr Rainer.
Now i need last Calculation in App Article as below table
Do i need to create relationship between Word app and Article app?
App Article (grand parent): relationship with App Sentence
No. First Letter (sort) Word Sentence Order
1 (add ID link to word Eat) E Eat 14
2 (ID link to word Go) G Go 14
- L Luxus 3
- RRed 1Note:
- sort by First Letter
- If any, Sentence order can link direct to “sentence” item (1,3,14). And No. column link to “word” item
---------------
App Sentence ( parent): relationship with App Word
Word list field (done):
No. First Letter (sort) Word
1 (add ID link to word Eat) E Eat
2 (ID link to word Go) G Go
----------------------------
App word (child): Go, Eat, Luxus, red items
ID word Link
-
You don't need a direct relation between Articles and Words. In Articles you can grab the tables from Sentences, remove the table heads, disassemble each table, add the Sentence order number to each row , sort all rows from all tables and then put them all together in one large table.
It's something like:
var sen = @all of table field in sentences;
var ord = @all of order number in sentences;
var rows = [];
for( var i = 0; i < sen.length; i++){
senArr = sen[i].split("\n"),
for(var j = 2; j < senArr.length; j++){
senOrd = senArr[j] + " | " + ord[i];
rows.push(senOrd);
}};
var rows = rows.sort( function (a,b) {
a = a.split(" | ")[1];
b = b.split(" | ")[1];
return a-b
}).join("\n)."No. | First Letter | Word | Sentence Order \n" +
"--- | --- | --- | --- \n" +
