Translating
Keyboard shortcuts
Translate, move through a language and approve strings without leaving the keyboard.
Press ? anywhere in the console, or ⌘/ (Ctrl+/ on Windows and Linux), to open the shortcut list. In the editor, the ⌘ button in the toolbar opens the same list. It shows only the shortcuts your role can use: a translator who cannot approve is not shown the approve shortcut.
On Windows and Linux, read ⌘ as Ctrl throughout.
Editing a string
These work while you are typing in a translation.
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
⌘ Enter | Save and go to the next string |
⌘ Shift Enter | Save without moving |
Esc | Cancel the edit and drop what you typed |
Clicking away from a cell does not discard your text: the cell keeps it, marked as not saved, until you save it or press Esc.
Moving around
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
j / k | Move down and up the queue |
↑ / ↓ | Move between rows |
← / → | Move between columns |
Alt ↓ | Next untranslated string |
Alt ↑ | Previous untranslated string |
Alt Shift ↓ | Next string that needs checking |
Alt Shift ↑ | Previous string that needs checking |
[ | Show or hide the context panel |
In the context panel
These work when focus is not in a text field.
| Keys | Action | Who can use it |
|---|---|---|
⌘ Enter | Approve and go to the next string | Reviewers, Admins and account Owners |
⌘ Shift Enter | Approve without moving | Reviewers, Admins and account Owners |
Alt Enter | Accept the Glossa suggestion on screen | Anyone who can edit the language |
Alt 1 to 9 | Insert the first to ninth similar translation, numbered as the panel lists them | Anyone who can edit the language |
Memory matches use Alt rather than Ctrl with a number, because Ctrl and a number switches browser tabs on Windows and Linux.
Anywhere in the console
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
⌘ K | Open the command palette and the assistant |
? | Show the shortcut list |
G, then a letter | Go to a page. The shortcut list shows the letters for the pages in your navigation. |
