================

Going through many, many translated strings can be a tedious task, but still important for the
overall result. Here are some tips for you that focus on the quality and speed in a balanced
matter.

Use the "QA Checks" feature to solve issues found by Crowdin. Crowdin does a good handfull of
checks for different issues and highlights them as things thats not necessary a problem, but
should be checked. UA Checks is highligted on the project Dashboard. A common issue is, what
Crowdin consider as spell errors. By going through the spellchecks, you can ignore words and
Crowdin should remember and ignore them in the future.

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

feature under the "Editor Settings" just beside your logo in the top right corner.
