Translating a key is straight-forward. On top of the screen is the bread crumb navigation back to the translation tool start screen. Right below the current package and the current translation key is displayed. You can choose the pulldown menu to move fast forward within the packages and keys.

Next is the translation of the key in the reference language. This field is read-only and shows you how this key is translated in the reference language.

The reference language field is followed by a comment field. If no comment is available, a button allows you to create a comment. In translation mode this field is read/write, in customizing mode it is read-only. In the comment field you will find hints about this translation key, how it is used or common pitfalls. You can help other translators by adding your notes there as well. This comment is only visible to the translators, it is not used for anything else.

After the comment field the comparative language can be activate or deactivated. Choose another langugage that you also understand and might help you to translate the key properly to your language. Deactivate this feature if not needed. This field is also read-only.

Finally, the input field for your language appears. Enter your translation and press Save to just save or Save & next to save and proceed with the next translation item in the list. You can enter any character you need, the i18n system is fully UTF-8 capable. But don't use single or double quotes unless also used in the reference language since this can break parts of the application.
