Single-language export

[Karl-Johan Norén]

I haven't really worked with the latest version of iLocalize until now,
but it seems like a well-thought-out update with several good new
functions.

However, I get a strange behaviour when I try to export the strings from
a partly-localised software, for translation in an external CAT tool.

General project language is selected (Swedish).
Choose Project > Export Strings

Select English as source and target for the export, and the file to export
to. However, I always get the Swedish strings included in the file.

This plays merry hell with my CAT workflow, which expects to get "pure"
English-only files as input.

Ie, I'd like to get an export option that gives:

"English text" = "English text"

and not

"English text" = "Svensk text"

Hey Karl-Johan.

What about storing the partly localized strings in an iLocalize glossary
first, then clear the whole Swedish localization in iLocalize by
selecting all strings and pressing [Cmd][F1], then do the clean export
as expected? :-)

I fixed it by not importing the pre-translated Swedish strings/nibs, but instead
created it using "Add language". Then I got a clean export that I can get into
the CAT tool (where I keep _all_ my old translations).

The drawback of this is if I work with nibs that I've edited earlier, then I need
to re-integrate things afterwards. Not a problem in this case, however (yes, it's
your project).
