Learn how to review and edit translations on websites you’re invited to as a translator.

This article is written for translators that want to work with site owners as reviewers. If you’re a site owner, check out our documentation on how to review automatic translations on your site.

Logging Into Your Translator Account

Before reviewing translations, the site owner first needs to create a Translator account for you. Once opened, you’ll receive an email with a link to set a new password and log into the site.

Adding HTML Markup to Translations

As you edit translations, you’ll notice some texts are highlighted in color. This indicates they have HTML markup, like bold or italic

By default, the editor automatically adds the necessary HTML markup for translations. However, if you make changes, remember to always insert the HTML markup yourself. 

You can do this by highlighting text and clicking the HTML markup color the original text has.
