Translations are mainly made in the Editor which can be viewed in Comfortable or Side-by-Side mode. Typically Comfortable mode is enabled.

Using the Menu in the top left corner you can switch between files for translations, change translation language, contact manager, switch the view, get help or quit the editor.

Comfortable Mode

Comfortable mode is mainly used for translations and consists of the four main sections:

1. Left sidebar
2. Middle-top area
3. Middle-bottom area
4. Right sidebar

Section 1 - Left sidebar

In this section, you will see the list of strings, and the active one will be highlighted. Strenge er tekstelementer, som enten er enkelte ord, udtryk eller sætninger. Some strings might have replacement tokens (something like {0}, {1}, or %1) or elements of ICU message syntax. Such items themselves should not be translated but are used by the website code to insert some information into strings dynamically. For at behandle sådanne strenge, kopieres kildestrengen og kun de egentlige ord oversættes.

Strenge kan have flg. statusser:

• - uoversat
• - delvist oversat (i tilfælde af at nogle af flertalsformer er uoversætte)
• - oversat
• - delvist oversat (i tilfælde af at nogle af flertalsformer ikke er godkendt)
• - godkendt
• - skjult (kun synlig for projektadministratorer og korrekturlæsere)

There also might be the following icons besides strings:

• - the string has comments from contributors
• - the string has an unresolved issue

While translating the content of an HTML, XML, TXT, DOCX, HAML, Web XML, and Markdown file formats a list of strings is displayed as a file preview. Statusser for strengene markeres med flg. farver:

• Rød - uoversat
• Lysegrøn - oversat
• Grøn - godkendt
• Grey - not for translation

En aktiv streng er fremhævet med farven gul.

The following options are available to manage the above view:

• - load basic list view. Use to switch to a standard mode and see a list of strings.
• - highlight untranslated, translated, and approved strings. Use to turn on/off color highlight of strings.
• - show translation preview. Use to turn on/off translations preview mode.

Filtering Strings

To filter the strings displayed in the left sidebar, click and select the preferred filter option.

Available filter options:

• Show All – Show all strings from the opened file/folder in the original order.
• All, Untranslated First – Show all strings from the opened file/folder. Untranslated strings are displayed at the top of the list, then translated strings, and the approved ones are displayed at the bottom of the list.
• Untranslated – Show only strings without any translations.
• Need to Be Voted – Show already translated strings.
• Not Approved – Show strings that are already translated but not yet approved by a proofreader.
• Approved – Show only strings with approved translations.
• QA issues – Show strings with no QA issues or with unresolved QA issues in the current language.
• Machine Translation – Show strings that are translated by TM or MT suggestions without changes. Often such strings need additional review.
• With Comments – Show strings that have comments.
• With Unresolved Issues – Show strings with unresolved issues in the current language or all languages.
• Hidden – Show strings that are hidden from translators. Strings can be hidden by project managers or hidden automatically by Crowdin when they are marked as duplicates.
• Advanced Filter – Filter that allows configuring own filtering and sorting parameters.

Section 2 - Middle-top area

The main working area with the source string on the top and translation section below. To add a translation, you need to choose the string from the left section, and it will appear in the central top field Source String.

This area also shows the context of a string. Context can include the technical details, an explanation of where the line appears in the actual product or screenshot showing the location of the string in a user interface. If the source string does not have any context, and it isn’t clear how to translate it, click Request and project manager will be notified that additional explanations are required.

Some strings might have underlined words or expressions. This means the word or expression belongs to the project terminology and should be translated according to the term description. You can check additional explanations added to the specific term for the accurate translation. This can be done by hovering over the underlined text or by going to the Terms section on the right sidebar.

Some terms may have translations to them. Previously translated terms increase project texts consistency. To reuse the term translation, you have to click the underlined term, and its translation will appear in the translation field.

Angiv oversættelsen i feltet i centersektionen umiddelbart under selve kildeteksten, og klik på Gem. Den næste kildestreng vises automatisk.

Plural Forms

Nogle strenge kan have flertalsformer. Depending on the language, the number of plural forms may vary. For example, Chinese has one plural form, English has two plural forms, and other languages might have even up to six plural forms. Crowdin works with plural forms according to CLDR Language Plural Rules.

Read more about CLDR Language Plural Rules.

When a string has multiple plural forms, all variants of the string are shown in the section where you type in translations. Angiv oversættelser i de respektive faner, som viser flertalsformer af et målsprog.

You might also get automatic Quality Assurance (QA) check pop-up messages to avoid some translation inaccuracy. For example, you can see notifications about inconsistency in punctuation, space mismatch, missing variables, and more.

Clicking icon in the top right allows you to:

• Copy String URL to access specific string using its unique link or share it with colleagues.
• access Translation History to see all the modifications done to the string. In the translation window, you will also see the Maximum length of translation limit if it’s exceeded.

Additional buttons available in the translations section:
- Copy Source. Use to keep the initial string structure while translating messages with replacement tokens or elements of ICU message syntax.
- Clear. Use if you need to erase the whole suggestion quickly.
- Text selection mode. Use if you want to copy part of translations from Translation Memory (TM) or Machine Translations (MT).

Section 3 - Middle-bottom area

This section contains the resources that might be useful:

• Oversættelser fra øvrige projektmedlemmer
• Forslag fra Oversættelseshukommelsen (TM)
• Machine Translation (MT) suggestions
• Oversættelser til andre sprog

Click on one of the suggestions, and it will automatically appear in the translation field. Refer to it as a basis for own suggestions.

To quickly copy the TM or MT suggestion to the translation field and save it, click Use and Save icon on the desired suggestion.

Afsnittet Andre Sprog muliggør at tjekke strengoversættelser på andre målsprog. Dette kan være en nyttigt funktion for flersprogede bidragsydere samt ifm. oversættelse af sprogdialekter.

If you see that there is already a correct suggestion, vote for it. To vote for several translations it would be more convenient switching to Side-by-Side Mode.

If you are a proofreader and plan to review and approve more than one translation — switch to Side-by-Side Mode.

Section 4 - Right sidebar

Kommentarer

Using the Comments tab, you can discuss the meaning of the source string or other related questions. For at gavne flest mulige oversættere anbefales det kun at benytte kildesproget til generelle diskussioner. Use “@” and username to direct your message to the specific person.

Reporting Issues

Additionally, in the Comments tab, you can report the issues regarding the source strings or translations to the project managers by selecting the Issue checkbox.

Available issue types:

• General question – General question related to the source string or its translations.
• Current translation is wrong – The translation added to the source string is incorrect and requires correction.
• Lack of contextual information – The meaning of the string isn’t clear and requires additional clarifications.
• Mistake in the source string – The source string text contains typos or any other mistakes.

All strings with unresolved issues could be filtered using the With Unresolved Issues options.

Read more about Filtering Strings.

The issues are reported to the project managers to correct mistakes or add context and resolve the issues. You can also Edit, Resolve, or Delete your issue by hovering over it.

If the project owner or managers configured the integration with Jira, all reported issues will be directed to the Jira dashboard for further processing and resolution without the need to visit Crowdin Editor.

Read more about Jira Integration.

Search TM

By going to the Search TM tab you can check for all the available translations from Translation Memory that is the vault of translations uploaded to the system by Project Managers.

Terms

Terms tab can be used to see the existing glossary available for the string (if any). You can also search for the terms in project glossary.  If the specific term is not available in the project’s glossary, the system will show you Wikipedia explanations.

Side-by-Side Mode

In Side-by-Side mode, translators can also translate, although, this mode is mostly intended for comfortable voting for multiple best translations in a row, while managers and proofreaders can approve the best translations.

To switch to the Side-by-Side mode, open the Menu in the top left corner then choose View > Side-by-Side.

For translators

To vote click on the plus sign if you like the translation, minus - if the translation doesn’t seem correct. Oversættelserne, som får flest plusstemmer, vil derefter blive vist oven over alle tilgængelige strengoversættelser.

For proofreaders

Review the translations to make sure they are ready for export and click Approve icon next to the suggestion to approve each translation separately.

For at godkende nogle/alle strenge samtifig, markér deres afkrydsningsfelter til venstre og klik så på Godkend.

Foreslå oversættelser

For at foreslå en anden oversættelse, så klik på den tekst, du vil ændre, og når det er gjort, klik på Gem. Din oversættelse vil blive føjet til forslagslisten.

Oversættelse af RTL-sprog

Ved oversættelse mellem LTR- og RTL-sprog vises visse elementer i oversættelsesområdet i redigeringsværktøjet muligvis ikke på samme måde, som de bliver eksporteret.

To be sure that RTL translations will be displayed correctly in the exported file, we recommend making translations the following way:

1. Click under the source text (or Alt+C key combination).
2. Oversæt kildeteksterne til målsproget.
3. Lad variabler, tags, osv. forblive uændrede i oversættelsen, selv om de ser forkerte ud. De vil være i de korrekte placeringer i den eksporterede fil.

Indstillinger, Redigeringsværktøj

To open the Editor settings, click in the right upper corner.

Indstillinger for Redigeringsværktøjet indkluderer flg. opsætning:

• Translation Memory Suggestions – you can specify the minimum similarity match (in percentages) for translation memory suggestions shown under the translation field.
• Compact strings view – if enabled only the beginnings of the long strings will be shown in the string list.

• QA checks – if enabled the pop-up messages with warnings will appear each time you try to save a translation with some inaccuracy (punctuation/tags/spaces mismatch, missing variables etc.)
  

• Auto-complete – if enabled the pop-up with translation prediction and automatic translation completion will appear while you type the translation.
• Auto-approve – if enabled the translations added by proofreaders or members with higher permissions are automatically approved.
• HTML Tags Displaying – you can choose Show or Hide option that applies to all HTML tags. In case you choose Auto tags will be hidden in HTML, Haml, XML, Web XML, Markdown, Docx files but shown in other file formats. Når tags er skjulte, kan du eksempelvis forvente at:

  <a href="https://sample.com">Sample</a>
  

  will be replaced with

  <0>Sample</0>
  

• Color Theme – set the Light or Dark theme, or select Auto to allow the Editor to set the theme based on your device system settings.
