Import From Another Device

This option is only available on Android and only with the same version of translationStudio

Choose this to connect with a local Android tablet.

  • Choose a name or pseudonym for the tablet/device.
  • Confirm.
  • Set the other device to export to another device from the project.
  • Choose to import from another device again.
  • Wait for the devices to find each other.
  • On the sending device - tap on the name of the receiving device.
  • On the receiving device - tap on Confirm and close.

My coworker is using translationStudio 11.1 build 132. She has a new laptop that was sold with Windows 10 S mode enabled. The S mode has been deactivated. translationStudio was installed and when attempting to import a file the import fails. The error logs shows:
2020-01-14 19:55:14 E/ts-dashboard.html:661:3: Import Failed
Error: Command failed: git clone https://git.door43.org/Serginjo/hr_obs_text_obs “C:\Users\vmihe\AppData\Local\translationstudio\temp\hr_obs_text_obs”
Cloning into ‘C:\Users\vmihe\AppData\Local\translationstudio\temp\hr_obs_text_obs’

So, it seems it is failing the git clone. The import works with the same account/user on a different computer. Is there anyone who can help?

Hi,

Can you ask your coworker to uninstall translationStudio and then reinstall it? It sounds like the git software might not be properly installed, and doing this process should fix it.

Thanks,
