Yes. With universal placeholders, placeholders are stored in one form and converted to the syntax of each file format on upload and download, so the same string keys serve Android, iOS, web, and every other platform. Tags route the string keys that exist on only one platform to the right file.
Yes. Use the search bar in the top right corner of the Translations page to search both the string keys and the translations of that project.
Contributors fall into two main groups: Administrators and Translators.
Administrators can manage string keys, languages, and other contributors in the project.
Translators only translate strings in your project. For each language assigned to them, they can have read-only access, typically for reference languages, or write access to add and update translations.
