3.2. Start screen

On the translation tool start screen you select

  1. The reference and target language

  2. Which bundle you want to translate

Additionally a progress bar indicates how many keys are already translated and how it compares to the reference language.

In customizing mode, the reference and target language are set to the same value. The target will be your overlay locale.

The translation tool offers four ways to start with the translation work:

  1. Show missing translation: when the missing translation count is 0 you are finished

  2. Show already translated keys: review what you have already done

  3. Show all translations, regardless of the translation status

  4. Search for a specific key or value. You can use the * as a wildcard in this search.

Normally, the system searches within all bundles. This can be limited to a certain bundle. Additionally, you can decide to include the child bundles as well or to search only within the specified bundle.

By default, the bundles are sorted by priority. This priority is set by the developers and indicates how important a certain bundle is. Bundles from the OLAT-Core framework are considered to be more important because they appear more often than other bundles. Example code is normaly very unimportant and thus as a very low priority to be translated. This sorting behaviour can also be switched on or off.

Choose one of the options and press Show to see which keys are affected by your search or Translate to start translating right away.
