Screenshots

Screenshots are a great way to improve the quality of translations. As screenshots provide translators with additional context.

Added screenshots appear under each separate string in the Online Editor. This way translators can see the exact location of a string in the UI.

High-resolution images can be viewed in a proper scale on a non-retina display. For that, the scale factor should be changed by adding “@2x” or “@3x” at the end of the file name.
