Applanga Tags

What are Applanga Tags and How Should They be Used?

Applanga Tags are used in the Applanga dashboard to categorize a set of string IDs. Tags can be added via an integration, manually, or during the screenshot upload process. They can be associated with and used to track things such as features, screens, components, JIRA-related issues, or to help simply sort IDs. String IDs can accommodate multiple tags.

Tags are associated with IDs within a project across languages. Tags can have specific category associations. Categories are used for more specific tracking of string IDs. Categories exist within a project and can be used to easily differentiate between tags and to track things like platforms, releases, and workflows (e.g. design review, development review, etc.) The Applanga dashboard is pre-populated with some platform-related categories: iOS, Android, Web, and Jira. They can be managed in Project Settings.

Tag Considerations

1. Tags can be used to limit the scope of translation orders

   • Refer to the Use TransPerfect Translation Services Documentation to start an order
   • After starting an order, navigate to the Select Strings panel and Add the tags which require translation

2. Screenshots and Tags

   • All uploaded screenshots and the corresponding strings can be tagged to help users track which strings display on which screens.

3. Mixed State of Tags

   • If the selection of strings IDs contains some tagged IDs and some untagged IDs, the Tag dropdown can be used to add tags to all string IDs or remove tags
   • Click the Tag dropdown, search for the appropriate tag to add or remove, mark the checkbox next to the tag to tag all strings or click again to remove the tag from all strings

4. API Integration - see API Integration Documentation

   • Tags can be used as a request parameter to:
   • Request by Tag
   • Create a New Tag
   • Upload and Tag Strings
   • Mass Upload Screenshots

5. CLI Integration - See CLI Integration Documentation

   • Tags allow users to upload and download only a subset of all available strings into or from certain files.
   • The Applanga Github Workflows integration utilizes the Applanga CLI internally so all Tag related available via the CLI are also available in Github Workflows
