Locking Entries

Lock entries that don't need to be translated

When you localize an app, you may have some text that should remain the same in all localized versions of the app. This includes non-translated text, links, proper names, and so on. To make sure these entries remain the same as the Base Language text in localized versions, these entries should be Locked.

Locking prohibits any translations for the entry and Applanga will use the Base Language entry for any specific locale.

Users can lock entries using the Multi-Edit Options. Users can select an entry, click on the information icon (1) and in the upper right-hand corner, click on Lock entry (2). This will generate a pop-up message from which users can choose if they want to lock that entry for the selected language or for all of them. To unlock the entry, users can simply click on the Unlock entry button.
