================
352+
353+
Going through many, many translated strings can be a tedious task, but still important for the
354+
overall result. Here are some tips for you that focus on the quality and speed in a balanced
355+
matter.
356+
357+
Use the "QA Checks" feature to solve issues found by Crowdin. Crowdin does a good handfull of
358+
checks for different issues and highlights them as things thats not necessary a problem, but
359+
should be checked. UA Checks is highligted on the project Dashboard. A common issue is, what
360+
Crowdin consider as spell errors. By going through the spellchecks, you can ignore words and
361+
Crowdin should remember and ignore them in the future.
362+
363+

366+
367+
Use the batch approval view in the Editor view, to get many translations done in a few steps. By changing the
368+
view from "Comfortable" to "Side-by-side", you get a full view of the translated strings and words.
369+
You can select more/all strings and approve all selected strings in one click.

374+
375+
Finally, if you do both translation and approval in Crowdin (some of us do..), there is a neat
376+
little feature we will share with you: The fabulous "Auto-approve" feature! As a proofreader or
377+
higher, translations added by you will be automatically approved, when you save. You find the
378+
feature under the "Editor Settings" just beside your logo in the top right corner.
