FAQ - Translation Team [Post for Translators only]

Hello lovely people in the Translation team. You all are doing a great job with the Translation projects.

I have noticed that some of the translators are unfamiliar with using the POEditor. So, I am creating a FAQ forum for solving all your doubts related to POEditor.

1. How to start using POEditor?
- You will be receiving an email that you have been accepted as a part of the translation team and this will be followed by an another email which will have a link to activate your account on POEditor. The second email will contain your account credentials so that you can log in using it whenever required. Also, you have the option to change your password after activating your account on POEditor.

2. What to do after activating the account?
- When you activate and log in to your account, you will see a page in which there will be a small icon of the name of the language and the country's flag. Click on that icon to get started.

3. How to start translating?
- After clicking on that icon mentioned previously, it will lead you to a page where you can see many threads. For making it easy for the beginners, select "Untranslated First" option in "ORDER:" (found on the left side of the page). You will now see the threads which remain untranslated. You can start translating by clicking and typing in the box below of that particular thread.

4. What are those 3 icons below the Translation box?
- Those 3 icons are for comments, marking fuzzy translation and proofreading (left to right). You can use 'comments' for discussing and suggesting something related to that particular thread. 'Fuzzy translation' can be clicked if you feel like a particular translation is unclear. Click on 'proofread' only if you think that the translation done is correct.
