If you're having to rerun a translation multiple times or coming back to a workbench after working on something else I think it would be really handy if the translation log showed the date and time the job finished.

Does it help if you turn on "Log timestamp information"?

It's in Tools > Options > Translation > Log Settings.

That's one approach, drawback is the log isn't as nice to read when every line is prefixed with a timestamp .

I like pasting the log summary as annotation after I have finished the workspace. Then I have what is expected next time I need to edit the workbench. I currently need to add the date manually, so it would save me a step.

Here's a small workaround using a Python shutdown script. It will print the current timestamp in the log window (not in the log file) after the translation has terminated:

from datetime import datetime print datetime.now().strftime('Translation terminated on %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

Two year old idea and not implemented. Not very hard. Wasn't it good enough?

Not enough votes, perhaps?
