3.4. Inline translation and language adaption mode

If this was not cool enough for you, check this out: the i18n system offers you a way to translate or adapt translations on-the-fly. We call this the inline translation mode. The inline translation mode is activated on the translation tool / language adaption tool launch screen.

Go to Administration > Translation Tool or Administration > Language Adaption Tool and activate the inline translation / inline adaption mode. A red cross indicates that the mode is deactivated, a gree tick that it is activated. Now you have to log out and log in again to activate the change.

Once it is activated, every translatable element in the GUI will show a little edit icon when hovering over it. The text that is affected by this key will flash yellowish for a moment. Click the edit icon to translate this key.

The inline translation mode is very helpfull when you start translating to catch the most important things first or when adapting the system to your local need and you only want to customize some strings.
