Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: New Translating Feature!

Today I finally implemented a new translating feature that will make things a lot easier to ensure quality translations across all tools (many things to Spyros Papadakis and Daniel Schneider to suggest this).

When you go to the translation page and you are logged in as a translator, you will see a new feature:

"Search and Translate Labels across modules"

This feature will allow you to search for words/phrases in *all* your language translations across modules.

Practically this means that if you think you are using two different words (for example "student" and "learner") and you want to ensure that you are consistent, this feature will allow you to find these labels and change them accordingly in a bulk translation update.

Of course, you might want to talk to your fellow language translators so that you all use the consistent words/phrases as you won't want to keep overwriting each other's labels

Let me know what you think about this and if you can think of any other ways to improve this.

Thanks,

Ernie
