Important!
Editors must use either Google Chrome or Firefox.

Interface Basics

Source content is displayed on the left-hand side of the screen and the translation on the right. The two can be scrolled simultaneously.

Click on a segment in the source or target to open the text editor. When changing a translation, changes will not be immediately visible in the translated document. You must regenerate the document for any changes to be visible (more on this below).

Main Toolbar

Regenerate

Regenerate the images and make your changes visible in the translation.

Detect Segments

Reloads the segments currently on screen. If you cannot select a particular piece of text, try this.

Lock/Unlock Scrolling

Allows you to decouple the document scroll. By default, when you move the view of the document, the view of both documents will scroll together (i.e. they are locked). Unlocking scrolling will let you move around and view each document independently. This is useful when the documents become out of sync due to text expansion.

Show Geometry

Highlights and color codes all the segments (see color codes below for more info)

Sign Off

Use the sign off button to indicate to the Project Manager when you have finished making changes. Any batch that is not signed off will remain under review and will not be supplied until it is signed off.

Editing Translations

Hover your mouse over a segment, the text will be highlighted in both the source and target documents. Click the segment to display the editor.

[highlight and edit]

Modify the translation by clicking into the editor and adjusting the text. Click the save button to save your changes.

Formatting

Formatting is represented by diamond shaped tags in the editor (in the document itself the tags converted to the actual formatting of the document). Tags can be moved within the text by dragging and dropping them to the appropriate location. Again, click the save button to save any changes.

Comments

Pops up a comment window where you can leave a comment for the translator to review once you have finished. Please do not request changes to the current translation here.

Color Codes

Text segments are color coded to represent different states for each segment.
