yes that is what i would like and think is correct showing. portuguese strings should defer to neutral if none is found in the sublang, with a warning that they may be incorrect.

i would say english is the exception by having all translated in SUBLANG_DEFAULT and not separating sublangs as is done with portuguese resources and others.
as i stated in irc one of these days, i think the solution to english is to have a SUBLANG_BRITISH or whatever and not assume neutral is for british english, how it is right now contradicts the use of wrc which is sublang -> neutral -> default (english). i'd say english should have all resources in neutral and then the different ones in sublang_british or sublang_australian or other.

at least that is what makes sense to me for the process to be consistent.

The attached patch makes transl behave more or less the way you want I think.

The rest of the pages look fine to me as well (see attached screenshots). The only thing not correct in those screenshots is kernel32 being marked as partial where it should be "not translated".

It of course also doesn't have the warning in front of it but that seems trivial. So see this as a proof of concept.

We of course need some kind of consensus here whether this is the way forward.
