Using locize as a translator


Your journey using locize might start with a short invitation email you received
asking you to sign up for the service. Hopefully, the person inviting you
already gave you some context information about your task. After following the
invitation link in the email and going through the registration process you will
find yourself on the dashboard which contains all projects you got access to.

Finding yourself here the first time there will be only one project so click
that one. You will now find yourself in the "ControlCenter" of the project.
Depending on your access rights that page will lead to many administrations
settings but most interesting for you is the section "Start to translate":

If the language you translate to is not yet selected toggle that to the correct
language. As you can see the file "translation" is not completely translated.
You now have the option to use two different views for translations using the
buttons on the right.

THE GLOBAL VIEW

Acts as an overview and will highlight changes made.

You can learn more about that view here. As the global view is less targeted on
the translation workflow we will follow the button to the focus view.

THE FOCUS VIEW

This view is primarily created for translators focusing on one text segment at a
time using additional information at hand (machine translations, translation
memory, context information,...).

GETTING THE JOB DONE

As you can see above - in our case - there are only 4 segments that need our
attention and are not yet translated. Your list might be a lot larger so the
best will be set a filter only showing segments that are untranslated:

Which reduces the list to the untranslated segments:

You now can either pick a translation provided by the machine translations and
post edit the content or type the translation into the input field.
To navigate to the next segment either click it using the mouse or use the key
bindings:

Depending on being on windows or mac the bindings can be different so better
check them on your system. Having gone through the list of untranslated don't
forget to save the changes using the save button (or keybinding).

There are also other useful possibilities to keep track of new translations.
