@PeterJones hello, for me I think it is sufficiently understandable. thanks

@PeterJones said in multi line editing:

The “binary translation” page goes a little more into how to edit it… but probably not enough (let me know if you think it needs work).

I agree.
This is one of those areas where the documentation works if one already knows what it is talking about. Someone that doesn’t would be lost.

just dropping down the dropdown and reselecting Italiano is sufficient

I wonder if that’s changed behavior or if it’s always been that way.

As far back as I can remember, it has always been that way.
I used to select one spot down from English (customizable) when I wanted to bring new changes to that I’d made into effect (and then drop it down again and restore English (customizable)). Then one time I stuttered with the mouse and the dropdown closed with English (customizable) still in effect…but I noticed that my changes were also brought into realization.

Is it worth documenting in the manual that you can just re-choose the existing entry in the dropdown to cause the translation update to happen?

Also, I think users might think that restarting Notepad++ will cause this sort of change to be “picked up”, much in the way of shortcuts.xml. But no, an explicit “change” of the Localization dropdown is what does it.

It never hurts to point out the exceptions to a general rule, which is in Npp’s case: configuration options are loaded when Npp is started.
