Determining the Origin of Source String in Page Code
Meet a new feature that will significantly simplify the localization process of your web projects. Now, for each source string, you can determine where exactly it first appeared in the source code. This makes the translation process more accurate, convenient, and faster.
How Does It Work?
To take advantage of this feature, you need to enable the "Upload surrounding HTML along with new strings" option. Once this option is enabled, when new strings are added to the BabelShark system, a portion of the HTML code in which they were found will be uploaded. This allows you to:

  • Precisely determine the context of string usage.
  • Avoid translation errors related to ambiguous phrases.
  • Improve localization quality by considering the web page structure.
Benefits of the New Feature
  1. Contextual Translation – Translators will be able to see the surrounding HTML code, helping them better understand the meaning of the string and adapt it more accurately.
  2. Time Savings – No need to manually search for the string in the code; the system will automatically indicate its location.
  3. Reduction of Revisions – Minimizing errors related to the misinterpretation of individual words or phrases.
  4. Simplified Quality Control – Testers and editors will be able to quickly find and fix potential translation errors.
How to Enable This Feature?
To activate Upload surrounding HTML along with new strings, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your project settings in BabelShark.
  2. Find the option "Upload surrounding HTML along with new strings."
  3. Enable it and save the changes.
  4. The system will automatically start capturing the context of new strings when they are added.

With BabelShark's new feature, the localization process becomes even more convenient. Now, every string in the translation will be as accurate as possible, and translators' work will be more efficient. Check this feature today and experience its benefits in your project!
