Translation Editor

Powerful and simple-to-use editor for your translations.

Documentation

Table view for translations

Table view provides a powerful yet easy-to-use overview of translations. To start translating, simply click on a text input and enter your translation in the selected language.

Translation table

Translation search

Working on a project with hundreds or thousands of string keys is no problem. Just type your query, and the search will find matches across string key names and translation content in any of the shown languages.

Filters

Sometimes you want to see only untranslated or unreviewed strings that need your attention before going live with a new app version. You can also filter by a task you created for your translators, or check the status of a professional translation order you placed through the Localizely platform.

Editor

The editor assists you throughout the translation process. It provides syntax highlighting for placeholders, marks text that should not be translated, and helps you with ICU messages that can get complex.

Key description

Give your string keys more context by adding a textual description or attaching screenshots. This helps both translators and AI understand each string better, resulting in more accurate translations.

QA checks

The editor automatically runs QA checks on your translations and notifies you when an issue is detected, such as a placeholder mismatch, invalid ICU syntax, or an exceeded length limit. This helps you catch problems early, before they reach your users.

Translation Memory

Translation Memory (TM) automatically saves your reviewed translations and makes them available as suggestions in other projects. It is a great time-saver when working across multiple projects, keeping translations consistent while also helping reduce costs.

Glossary suggestions

A glossary is a set of words or phrases along with their definitions and preferred translations, used as a reference to keep terminology consistent across languages. When the main translation contains a glossary term, the editor shows you how it should be translated, helping your translators and AI produce more accurate translations.

Machine Translation

Machine Translation is a fast way to fill in missing translations across your project's languages. While it is not a substitute for professional translation, it fits naturally into workflows that involve human post-editing, and it is handy when you need to quickly translate a large amount of non-customer-facing content.

AI Translation

AI Translation is a smarter way to fill in missing translations across your project's languages. Powered by advanced AI, it goes beyond word-for-word translation by understanding context, tone, and meaning. It also takes into account the key description, attached screenshots, and glossary terms, producing translations that are accurate, natural-sounding, and tailored to your use case.
