Cloning Strings

Cloning Strings on the Applanga Dashboard

This Article will show users how to create clones of existing strings. Cloning a string will copy its source value, the translations for all languages, tags, and all its metadata to the newly cloned string. Strings can only be cloned one at a time. Users can clone strings in the Applanga Dashboard to replace deprecated string IDs, to update string ID names, and to easily copy all data associated with one string to another.

How to Clone Strings

1. Open a project and navigate to the String Management Interface
2. Mark the checkbox for the string which requires cloning
3. Click the More dropdown and select Clone String

4. Update the Cloned ID (this value defaults to the original source ID and adds “_copy”)

5. Mark the Tag With checkbox to remove existing tags or add new tags

   • Users can also create new tags within the Clone String pop-up by entering the new tag name in the tag search bar and clicking Create.

6. Click Save
