How to Access and Use the Applanga Multi-Edit Options

  1. From the String Management Interface use the tag, filter, or search options to find specific strings

  2. Mark the checkboxes for the specific strings to edit

  3. Click the More dropdown to access the multi-edit options

  4. From the More dropdown, users can update strings using one of the following options:

    Publish

    This option promotes the current Draft value of a string to the target value. For integrated apps, this will make translations available to the app and its users.

    Lock

    This prevents changes to the actual content of the strings. See the Locking Entries page for more information.

    Lock (All Languages)

    This prevents changes to the actual content of the string(s) across all languages included in a project.

    Unlock

    For previously locked strings, this allows users to make changes to the strings’ content.

    Unlock (All Languages)

    For previously locked strings, this allows users to make changes to the strings’ content across all languages in a project.

    Clear Draft

    This option clears/deletes the draft translation of a string.

    Clear Translation

    This option clears/deletes the target translation of a string.

    Delete (All Languages)

    This option allows users to delete strings and its corresponding values from the Applanga dashboard.

    Add to Memory

    For target values of a string, this option will add those values to the project's Translation Memory. The TM can then be used to translate other strings consistently throughout a project. Refer to the Translation Memory page for more detailed information.

    Translate from Memory

    This option will translate strings using the Translation Memory.

    Approve Outdated Target

    This option disables the “Translation Outdated” warning without actually updating the target string. Refer to the Changed Source strings and Outdated Translations page for more information.

    Approve Outdated Draft

    This option disables the “Translation Outdated” warning without actually updating the draft string. Refer to the Changed Source strings and Outdated Translations page for more information.

    Link (All Duplicates)

    This option will link duplicates. Duplicates on Applanga are strings with the same source (e.g. same English value). Refer to the Linking Strings page for more information.

    Unlink

    This option will unlink previously linked duplicates.

    Clone String

    This option allows users to clone strings and its associated translation values as well as the metadata. See the Cloning Strings page for more information.

    Export Selected

    This allows users to export the selected strings and the corresponding values. See the Manual Export page for more information.

    Import Selected

    This allows users to import draft or target translations for the selected strings. See the Manual Import page for more information.

    Create Jira Issue

    This allows users to create Jira tickets for any issues identified during the localization process. Refer to the Jira Integration page for more information.
