Work on a project

The home page shows you an overview of all projects you are currently working on. Select the one you want to use by clicking the translate button.

List of messages

The translation page show a list of messages on the left side and a translation editor for the currently selected message. By default the list shows you all currently untranslated messages. You can switch to all messages or you can filter by a specific substring to show only those messages that contain the substring.

Translation Editor

Normalization mode

The simplest case of a message to translate is just a small piece of text. But there can be some structure. The text can contain placeholders, variable parts that will be filled at runtime with some values. The text can contain some formatting like bold face or italic.

All these cases are handled by some special XML markup in the message. The exact markup depends on the format of the translation file. So XLIFF 1.2 uses a special markup, XLIFF 2.0 uses another totally different one, and XMB/XTB uses a third one.
