| ====== Translation Site usage ====== | ====== Translation Site usage ====== | ||
| - | As a **quick guide**, on the [[http://translate.voicecontrolapp.com/|main page]] you can see the list of sub-projects and languages assigned to you as translator. Clicking on an element in this list, you will be able to open the translation details for that sub-project and language.\\ | + | ===== Quick start ===== |
| - | From the translation detail page, you can then choose to open a set of texts to edit clicking on one of the available set displayed. For example, //All strings// allows you to translate every text for the opened sub-project, meanwhile //Untranslated strings// will be shown only when there are texts not translated, and will allows you to navigate only between them. | + | Inside the [[http://translate.voicecontrolapp.com/|main page]] of the translation site there is the list of sub-projects and languages assigned to you as translator (they can be personalized from the [[http://translate.voicecontrolapp.com/accounts/profile/|profile page]]). |
| - | To edit your profile information, change email notification preferences, assigned languages etc, you can do them from the [[http://translate.voicecontrolapp.com/accounts/profile/|profile page]]. It can also be opened from the "Logged in as" button on the top right of every page of the translation site. | + | Clicking on an element inside this list, you can open its translation details page. |
| - | If you want, you can also read further information on how to use [[http://weblate.org|Weblate]] reading his [[http://weblate.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html|Documentation site]]. However, it is quite simple to use, so you can skip it. | + | Inside the translation detail page, there is the list of available sets of texts to review or edit. |
| + | |||
| + | Set names are self-explainatory. For example, ''All strings'' allows you to open and navigate between every text for the current sub-project and language, meanwhile, ''Untranslated strings'', that will be shown only when there are texts not translated, allows to navigate only between untranslated texts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Clicking on a set name, you can open the first text available within that set, in order to start to review or edit translations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | From the text translation page, you can see the original English text, the editable translated text (empty if not translated), an optional comment (useful to better understand the original English text meaning) and zero or more suggestions provided by other translators or unregistered users. | ||
| + | |||
| + | From here you can: | ||
| + | * Move to other set's texts: near the top, click on the ''first'', ''previous'', ''next'' or ''last'' icons to navigate between the set's texts. | ||
| + | * Edit the translation: just enter or change the translated text and click on ''Save''. Once done, the translation will be saved and you will be moved to the next text available within the set. | ||
| + | * Accept or reject suggestions: just click on ''accept'' or ''reject'' icons of the suggestion. If approved, the suggestion will be applied to the translation and the page is refreshed (there is no need to save the translation to confirm the suggestion approval). If rejected, the suggestion will be removed and the page is refreshed. | ||

It can also be opened from the "Logged in as" button on the top right of every page of the translation site. | ||
| + | ===== Weblate documentation ===== | ||
