Translations pane

The Translation pane contains translation entries. They can be exported to a POT file, which can be opened in a translation tool (see Translating templates).

Tip: Hover over a translation entry to see which HTML elements in the template have the same text and are tagged for translation (see Tagging elements for translation).

Buttons

• Tag Element...: Tag the currently selected element in the template for translation (see Tagging elements for translation). If no translation entry with the same text already exists, the text of the tagged element is copied to a new translation entry.

• Add Empty String: Adds a new, empty translation entry to the list and opens the Translation String Options dialog.

• Export: Exports the translation entries to a POT file (see Exporting and importing translation files).

• Highlight Tagged Elements: Turn highlighting on or off. Highlighting shows which HTML elements have the same text and are tagged for translation when you hover over a translation entry.

• Sync: Scans the template (all sections and snippets) for elements that are marked for translation and compares them to the list of translation entries. The results are shown in the Sync Summary dialog.

• Edit locale: Opens the Locale Settings dialog.

Columns

• Source: The text that will be presented to the translator, and that will be replaced with a translation when OL Connect generates output from the template.

• Context: Describes where the source text is used, to help the translator translate the source text correctly in case it should be translated differently in different locations (see Same text, different translation: add a context).

Contextual menu options

• Edit String: Opens the Translation String Options dialog for the clicked translation entry.

• Delete: Deletes the clicked translation entry and (optionally) removes the translation tag from matching elements.
