Applanga also supports the use of wildcards in searches.

  • Use quotation marks to find exact matches - “Help” will only return results with an exact match for ‘Help’
  • Use an asterisk to find words that start or end with specific letters - ru* will return results that start with the letters 'ru' and *ru will return results that end with the letters 'ru'

To use wildcards in the search, click the search dropdown menu (1) and select (2) Advanced Search. The wildcard can be used in combination with search options to narrow the results.

Search and Replace

Users can replace specific text using the Search & Replace feature. This can be used in both the bilingual view and the multi-language view. Before replacing text, it is recommended to either manually export translations or create a backup.

  2. Click the Search & Replace icon
  3. By default, all instances that meet the search criteria are selected for replacement. To remove an instance from the replace function, uncheck the corresponding checkbox
  4. If you need to be more selective in your replacement, use the Filter to help find the correct instances for replacement
  5. In the Search & Replace bar, confirm you entered the correct text to be replaced in the first textbox
  6. In the second textbox, enter the new text that should replace the current text (or leave empty to remove)
  7. Click Replace in Selected
  8. Once you complete the text replacement, click Done
