Prerequisites
You received an email asking you to review translations, and a new task appeared in the My review tasks tab.
The new task includes previews.
Open the required review task.
Click the Start review button in the top right-hand corner. The following window will be displayed.
It consists of two main areas – the UI texts area on the left and the HTML preview area on the right. For details, see the expandable sections below.
Review the strings in context in the HTML preview area.
To report an issue, perform the following steps:
Hover over the text string in question. It will be highlighted in green.
Right-click the selected text. It will be highlighted in yellow, and the corresponding string will be selected in the string list in the UI text area.
Click the Create issue button at the top of the page or the
icon above the selected string in the UI text area. The New issue popup is displayed. For details about creating issues, see the Create a LAT issue and Select the error category guides.
Click the Create button
The string is now marked with a badge that shows the number of reported issues for this UI text.
Click the badge to open the issues (there could be more than one) and edit them.
Only the person who created an issue can edit or delete it.
If the UI texts in the previews have suggested translations, you can also review them by selecting the flag with a checkmark in the top left-hand corner.
The suggested translation will be displayed in the preview.
After reviewing all the strings on the current preview, click the Approve & next or Next button.
Clicking the Approve & next button will do the following:
Set the status of the current preview to Verified.
Change the status of translated strings to Reviewed.
Increase the review’s progress.
Display the next preview with an Open status.
Clicking the Next button will do the following:
Keep the Open status of the current preview.
Display the next preview with an Open status.
Repeat the previous steps until you have verified all previews. After you have reviewed all the previews, the following popup will be displayed.
Click the Complete now button in the popup. Alternatively, exit the review and click the Complete task button in the top right-hand corner.
