Working in Translation View

Paligo's Translation View is a built-in editor designed for use when you are not using an external translation service and are doing the translations internally instead. The people in your organization who will do the translation work can use the Translation View to add translations, make comments, compare the translations and more.

Translation View shows two versions of the content side-by-side. One is the source language, the other is a translation in another language.

Note

We recommend that you use a professional translation service for handling the translation of your content. If you use a translation service, you may decide to not use the Translation View at all, as you can accept the translations from the Resource View instead, see Check and Approve the Translation.

If you are going to use Paligo's translation editor to add translations, see Translator Instruction.

Translation View color coding

The Translation View will show two languages (source and target language) side by side, with each text fragment color-coded to provide a better overview of what needs to be translated:

  • Green: the text fragment has been translated and approved.

  • No color background: the text fragment has been translated (but not approved).

  • Red: the text fragment has not been translated.
