Overview

The Editor is the main place in Crowdin Enterprise where project members can work on translations. It allows users to suggest, vote on, review, and approve translations online.

Using the Main menu in the upper-left corner, you can switch between files for translation, change translation languages, contact a manager, change the view, and access help materials.

Core Features

The Editor provides all the necessary tools for translators and proofreaders, including:

• List of strings available for translation, which may vary in different Editor modes.
• Context, labels, and additional information to guide the work.
• String search and filtering options for efficient translation management.
• AI Assistant, Translation Memory (TM) suggestions, and Machine Translation (MT) suggestions.
• Glossary terms to ensure consistency.
• Comments section for collaboration and reporting issues.

String List

This section displays the list of strings, with the active one highlighted. Strings are text elements that are either individual words, phrases, or sentences. Some strings might have replacement tokens (e.g., 0, 1, %1, etc.) or elements of the ICU message syntax. Such items themselves should not be translated but are used by the website code to dynamically insert some information into strings. To work with such strings, you should copy the source string and translate only the real words.

Strings can have the following statuses:

• - untranslated
• - partially translated (if some of the plural forms are not translated)
• - translated
• - partially approved (if some plural forms are not approved)
• - approved
• - hidden (visible only for project managers and proofreaders)

There also might be the following icons besides strings:

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

Suggesting Translations

To suggest a translation, select a string from the list and enter your suggestion in the field next to the original text. When you’re done, click Save. Your suggestion will be added to the string’s translation suggestions list, and you’ll automatically move on to the next string.

Proofreading

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

To approve all or a couple of the strings at once, check the boxes on the left and then click Approve.

Note

Make sure to enable QA checks to help you find strings that require review. Issues found will be highlighted in red under the translated strings that require revision.

Managing Approvals

Each translation can be approved either once or multiple times by multiple proofreaders and project members with manager permissions (or higher). Once a translation is approved at least once, it will be displayed as such on all workflow steps of a project.

If necessary, a proofreader or project member with manager permissions (or higher) can edit the list of approvals for translations approved twice and more by removing approvals one by one or all at once.

To edit the list of approvals, follow these steps:

1. Open the needed string in the Editor.
2. Click on the profile pictures of the proofreaders that approved a translation.
3. In the unfolded translation details, click next to the approval you want to remove.

The translations with the highest number of approvals have the highest priority. They will be displayed at the top of the translation list in the Editor and used on translation download.

When a string has more than one translation, the translation list is formed based on the following priority:

1. Translation with the highest number of approvals – Among translations approved multiple times, the translation with the highest number of approvals has a top priority.
2. Translation with the last added approval – Among translations approved only once, the translation with the last added approval has a top priority.
3. Most voted translation – Among translations that don’t have approvals, the translation with the highest number of votes has a top priority.
4. Last added translation – Among translations that don’t have approvals or votes, the last added translation has a top priority.

WYSIWYG File Preview

When translating the content of an HTML, XML, TXT, DOCX, XLSX, HAML, Web XML, Markdown, MDX, DITA, Wiki, ADOC, Coffee, FTL, JS, TS, and FTLH file formats, you can toggle a bottom panel (for Side-by-side and Multilingual modes) to see a file preview (i.e., WYSIWYG). For Comfortable mode, the file preview is displayed by default when working with the formats mentioned above.

The string status is indicated by the following colors:

• Red - untranslated
• Blue - translated
• Light-green - approved
• Gray - not for translation

An active string is highlighted in yellow.

The following options are available to manage the above view:

• - Load basic list view. Use it to switch to a standard mode and see a list of strings (Comfortable mode only).
• - Highlight untranslated, translated, and approved strings. Use it to toggle the color highlighting of strings on and off.
• - Show translation preview. Use it to toggle the translation preview mode on and off.
• - Scale Toggle. Use it to toggle between a zoomed-in and zoomed-out view (Comfortable mode only).

String Search

You can search for strings by source text, translations, context, or all at once. Depending on the content you open in the Editor, the system will search for matches within the currently open file or across all strings in the project.

To search for strings in the file or the whole project, type your search phrase in the Search in file (Search strings) field. You can also use a keyboard shortcut to switch to the search field (by default, Ctrl +F ).

To refine the search results, you can use the following options:

• Match case – with this option, you will find only the strings written in the same case: for example, if you search for Work and select Match case, the system will find Work, Works, Working but not work.
• Match whole phrase – with this option, you will find the strings containing the search phrase only in the original order: for example, if you search for Machine Translation and select Match whole phrase, the system will find Machine Translation, Machine translation, machine translation but not Translation Machine. When Match whole phrase is not selected, the system splits the search phrase into separate words and searches for matches in the strings in any order.
• Exact match – with this option, you will find only the strings that exactly match the search phrase: for example, if you search for Work and select Exact match, the system will find Work, work, but not Works or Working.

You can combine Match case with Exact match and Match case with Match whole phrase. Match whole phrase and Exact match are mutually exclusive options.

The search phrase is limited to 128 characters. If you use a search phrase longer than 128 characters, it is automatically truncated to the maximum allowed.

To search for strings by a numeric identifier, type the number without quotation marks, such as 34354, to find the exact match. To search for the occurrences of the number in the text or context, enclose the number in quotation marks when typing it in the search box, for example: “34354”.

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 open file/folder in their original order.
• All, Untranslated First – Show all strings from the opened file/folder. Untranslated strings are displayed at the top of the list, followed by translated strings, and then 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 these strings require 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 automatically hidden by Crowdin Enterprise when they are marked as duplicates.
• Advanced Filter – A filter that allows you to configure custom filtering and sorting parameters.
• AI/CroQL Filter – An AI-powered filter that allows you to create custom queries using the Crowdin Query Language (CroQL) for enhanced string filtering.

Permissions

Some of the filter options may be available only to project members with manager permissions (or higher).

Workflow Steps Filter

In projects with a workflow, strings move from one workflow step to the next. There are three string statuses: ToDo, Pending, and Done.

Use the icon to view strings with their corresponding workflow step statuses.

Verbal Expressions

The Verbal Expression section of the Advanced Filter implements a regular expression search. You can set specific search parameters for strings in your project. For example, you can search for all strings that begin with uppercase letters and have no periods at the end or contain a date.

For example, if you want to extract all strings that start with an uppercase letter and have a period at the end, your expression might look like this: start "true", range "A,Z", anything, range "a,z,A,Z,0,9", limit "1,50", then ".", end "true"

Let’s break down the above expression:

start "true" – indicates the beginning of the string. range "A,Z" – means that your string starts with characters in the range A-Z. range "a,z,A,Z,0,9" – means that your string can contain characters in the range a-z and/or A-Z and/or 0-9. limit "1,50" – means that the length of the string is between 1 and 50 characters. then "." – means that your string ends with a period. end "true" – indicates the end of the string.

Here are some other use case examples of how you can use Verbal Expressions:

• Strings containing URLs: then "http", maybe "s", then "://", maybe "www.", anythingbut " "
• Strings with %s and %d placeholders: then "%", anyof "s,d"
• Strings with variables enclosed in double curly brackets: then "{{", range "a,z", then ".", range "a,z", then "}}"
• Strings that contain a floating point number: start, range "0,9", multiple, then ".", range "0,9", multiple, end

Read more about Expressions Syntax Elements.

Caution

When you enable verbal expressions, you can’t use the regular string search.

Plural Forms

Some strings may have plural forms. 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 may have up to six plural forms. Crowdin Enterprise works with plural forms according to the CLDR Language Plural Rules.

Read more about CLDR Language Plural Rules.

If a string has multiple plural forms, all variants of the string are displayed in the section where you type in translations. Enter translations in the appropriate sections that display the plural forms of the target language.

QA Checks

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.

String Menu

Clicking in the upper-right allows you to:

• Copy String URL to access a specific string using its unique link or share it with colleagues.
• Copy Source Skeleton to copy untranslatable elements to the translation section. Useful when translating strings with ICU message syntax and strings with HTML tags.
• Clear Selected Input to clear the translation field for the selected string.
• Access Translation History to see all the modifications done to the string.
• View String In Context to display a string along with other strings surrounding it in the source file, which gives a better understanding of how the string should be translated.

In the translation window, you will also see the Maximum length of translation limit if it’s exceeded.

Additional action buttons available when translating a string:

• - Copy Source. Use it to keep the initial string structure while translating messages with replacement tokens or elements of ICU message syntax.
• - Clear. Use it when you need to clear the translation field quickly. Alternatively, use the Clear Selected Input option from the string menu.
• - Text selection mode. Use it when you want to copy a part of the translation from Translation Memory (TM) or Machine Translations (MT) (Comfortable mode only).

Suggestions and Translations

This section contains the resources that might be useful:

• Translations by other project participants
• Translation Memory (TM) suggestions
• Machine Translation (MT) suggestions
• Translations to other languages

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

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

Other Languages section allows you to check the string translations into other target languages. This can be a useful tip for multilingual people and while translating dialects of a language.

Voting

If you see that there is already a correct suggestion, vote for it by clicking the plus sign if you like the translation, or the minus sign if you don’t think the translation is correct. Translations that receive the most positive votes will have a higher rating and will appear at the top of all available translations for the string.

Comments

Using the Comments section, you can discuss the meaning of the source string or other related questions. It is recommended to use a source language of the project so other translators can understand it. Use ”@” and a username to direct your message to the specific person.

Reporting Issues

Additionally, in the Comments section, 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 clarification.
• 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.

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 Enterprise Editor.

Read more about Jira Integration.

Exchanging Comments with External Organizations

If you need to discuss a string translation with people outside of your organization (e.g., with an assigned vendor team), you can select the Shared option when creating a comment in the Editor. The same way translators on the vendor side can mention your team to clarify some context or report typos in the source text. This option enables cross-organization communication and allows to resolve any issues that might require a prompt response. All the other comments created without an enabled Shared option will remain available only to the members of your organization.

Search TM

Using the Search TM section, you can check for all the available translations from Translation Memory, which is the vault of translations uploaded to the system by project managers.

The Search TM section provides the following options:

• Source – Search for matches in a source language.
• Target – Search for matches in target languages.
• Guess translation – Highlight probable translation of a search phrase.
• Numeric equivalence – Match digits from a search phrase with any other digits.

Additionally, to maximize your search results, you can use the following wildcards with your search phrase:

Type an asterisk (*) to find words where the end or beginning may be different. Example: any* finds any, anyway, anything Example: *way finds way, anyway, highway

Type a plus sign (+) to find words where the end or beginning must be different. Example: any+ finds anyway, anything, anywhere, except any Example: +way finds anyway, highway, someway, except way

Type a minus sign (-) to exclude words from your search. Example: Save -as

Use quotation marks to find the exact combination of words. Example: “Save as”

Editing TM Suggestions in the Editor

When working in the Editor, you can view the TM suggestions displayed in the TM and MT Suggestions section and in the right sidebar found through the Search TM section. There may be situations where TM suggestions contain inaccuracies or need to be updated.

Project members with manager permissions (or higher) can edit or delete TM records directly in the Editor, both in the TM and MT Suggestions section and in the Search TM section, rather than having to go to the Translation Memories page in the Resources or Project Settings. This ensures that TM suggestions are updated safely and quickly, improving the overall quality of the TM.

To edit the TM suggestion, follow these steps:

1. Click in the TM and MT Suggestions section or Edit in the Search TM section.
2. In the appeared dialog, make the necessary edits (i.e., modify or delete) to the TM suggestions for each language present in the TM segment.
3. To revert accidental deletions or unwanted changes, click Undo next to the TM suggestions or click Cancel to revert all modifications before saving.
4. Once the desired edits are completed, click Save to confirm and apply these changes to the TM segment.

To completely delete a TM segment from the TM, delete all TM records across all languages and click Save.

Terms

Underlined words or phrases in strings indicate project-specific terminology, which should be translated according to the provided term description. You can view detailed explanations by hovering over the underlined text or visiting the Terms section.

The Terms section allows you to browse the project glossary (if available) and search for specific terms. If a term is not found in the glossary, Wikipedia explanations will be displayed as a reference.

Some terms may already have translations, which help maintain consistency across the project. To reuse a translated term, simply click on the underlined text, and its translation will automatically appear in the translation field.

File Context

File Context section can contain additional context or instructions for translators to better understand how to translate a particular file. File context can be added in the File Settings as plain text or Markdown by either an owner or a project manager.

Editor Modes

The Editor offers several viewing modes to accommodate different translation workflows. The available modes include Side-by-Side, Comfortable, and Multilingual, each providing a unique layout for presenting and managing translations. The Side-by-Side mode is enabled by default, but you can easily switch as needed.

You can switch between Editor modes using the following methods:

• Via Main menu: Click on the Main menu in the upper-left corner, select View, and choose the preferred mode.
• Via Editor View icon: Click the Editor View icon in the upper-right corner and choose the preferred mode.

Side-by-Side Mode

Side-by-Side mode, detailed in the Core Features section, is ideal for managing multiple translations at once. Translators can work on several strings simultaneously or swiftly review and vote on existing translations. Managers and proofreaders can efficiently approve the best options all within the same view.

Comfortable Mode

Comfortable mode allows translators and proofreaders to focus on one string at a time, ensuring accuracy without distractions. It emphasizes the active string, making it easier to review context and related resources. This mode is ideal for handling complex translations or performing detailed proofreading, where precision and thoroughness are essential.

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

Requesting Context

Next to a string is its context section. Context can include the technical details, an explanation of where the line appears in the actual product, or a screenshot showing the location of the string in a user interface. If the source string does not have context and it’s not clear how to translate it, click Request and a project manager will be notified that additional explanation is needed.

Multilingual Mode

The multilingual mode provides similar features as the side-by-side mode and allows multilingual translators and proofreaders to work with multiple languages at the same time. You can select up to ten languages to work with simultaneously. The right panel shows the string’s translations of the language you’re entering a translation for or the one that was selected last.

Once you switch to the multilingual mode, select the languages you’d like to work with, and click Apply. To add new languages or remove some of the earlier selected ones, click on the Main menu in the upper-left corner, choose Language, alternatively click on the Languages in the upper-left corner, then do the necessary modifications to the language list and click Apply.

When working in multilingual mode, you can switch between two possible views: List View, Grid View.

The List view is enabled by default. To switch to grid view, click in the upper-left corner. To adjust the columns displayed in the Grid view, click on the drop-down toggle in the upper-right corner and select the preferred ones.

For Proofreaders

The proofreading process works mainly the same way as in side-by-side mode, except when approving or removing approvals for all or a couple of strings at once, the system performs the action for all languages selected for the multilingual mode.

Using Filter in Multilingual Mode

When using filter options in multilingual mode, the system will show strings that meet the selected criteria for at least one of the selected languages.

This behavior applies to the following filter options:

• Untranslated
• Not Approved
• Approved
• QA issues
• Machine Translations
• Advanced Filter > Translations updated
• Advanced Filter > Translations > Partially translated (plurals)
• Advanced Filter > Translations > Same as source string
• Advanced Filter > Votes

Translating RTL Languages

When translating between LTR and RTL languages, some elements in the translation field in the Editor might not be displayed the same way as they will be once exported.

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. Translate the source texts into the target language.
3. Leave variables, tags, etc., unchanged in the translation, even if they look wrong. They will be in the right positions in the exported file.

Tip

For cases when you need to provide bidirectional translations (e.g., strings with placeholders), we recommend using the Unicode Table app, with the help of which you can copy and paste right-to-left and left-to-right marks to the translation field, changing the direction of text where needed.

Command Palette

The Command Palette in the Editor is your hub for accessing various commands efficiently. It serves as a central location for all available commands, ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience.

To open the Command Palette, click in the upper-right corner.

Managing Unsaved Translations

When you enter translations but haven’t saved them, a green indicator appears next to the Unsaved Translations icon. Hovering over or clicking displays a tooltip with the number of unsaved translations.

This feature offers the following options:

• Check the number of unsaved translations.
• Save all unsaved translations with a single click.
• View and manage all strings with unsaved translations.

To view unsaved translations, click in the upper-right corner and select View Strings. Alternatively, click and select Unsaved translations.

Once filtered, you can continue editing unsaved translations. If they are ready to be saved, click Save All to apply the changes.

Editor Settings

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

The Editor settings are grouped into tabs that contain various options for configuring the Editor according to your preferences.

General

• Translation Memory Suggestions – you can specify the minimum similarity match (in percentages) for translation memory suggestions shown under the translation field.
• 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.
• Automatically move to next string – if enabled, you’ll be automatically moved to the next string after saving a new translation or approving an existing one.

AI

The AI tab allows to configure custom prompts and shortcuts for AI Assistant. This tab will appear in the Editor settings once the project owner configures AI provider and sets up the AI in editor prompt.

Advanced Filter

You can create a custom filter of strings by clicking the Filter strings icon and choosing Advanced Filter.

You can choose multiple filter parameters (e.g., strings added, strings updated, translations updated, Labels, and more) based on your specific needs to sort the strings. This might help to find the necessary information much faster.

In the below screenshot, you may see the strings are filtered by Translations updated interval, the Labels that the filtered strings should be marked with, the Comments, Visibility, and Approved by parameters as well as sorted by Alphabet in Descending order.

AI/CroQL Filter

The AI/CroQL Filter allows you to filter strings similarly to the Advanced Filter but offers greater flexibility through the Crowdin Query Language (CroQL).

Generate CroQL with AI

In the Generate CroQL with AI field, you can write queries in plain text, which will then be transformed into a CroQL expression using AI. To get the best results possible, make sure your queries are clearly structured. For example, you can enter: Return strings where there are translations by the user “username” into Ukrainian. Once you specify your query, press Enter , and the AI will generate and populate the CroQL expression field with the corresponding CroQL expression. Alternatively, you can directly input a pre-prepared CroQL expression in the CroQL expression field.

Click Filter to apply the specified filter to the strings in the Editor or click Reset Filter to clear the current filter settings.

Read more about Crowdin Query Language (CroQL).

Pinning Sections

In Side-by-Side or Multilingual modes, you can pin specific sections to keep them visible while navigating through other parts of the interface. This helps you access the pinned content quickly without losing sight of essential information.

Tasks in the Editor

Once a translator or proofreader has a task assigned, all the task details are accessible from the editor:

The name of the task is displayed at the top of the toolbar.

Filters and searches apply to a particular task only.

Task details can be accessed by clicking the menu in the upper-left corner.

The task menu consists of the following components and features:

• name, due date, language, type of the task, and assignee
• options to download and upload translations for the particular task
• possibility to quit the particular task editor and show all project strings
• Replace in Translations option
• Replace in Sources option
