You can use another file as a template for your string table. By choosing a reference file, your file will automatically match the structure of the other one (same keys, same comments). This is useful when creating a translation of a string table, as the only thing you need to do is to fill in the holes.
To choose a reference file, click on the Reference button in the toolbar. In the menu that appears, use Choose File to select a file to open. If Counterparts Lite has detected that this file belongs to a localized project folder (folders with a .lproj extension), you’ll also be offered to select directly the counterpart of this file in another language.
Once the reference file is choosen, the document will be shown in the side by side view.
To remove the reference, use the Reference button again and chose Remove Reference.
