Reviewing the translations

Review the forms, views, and fields that were localized to make sure the translation is accurate. You can review the list in the Localization Item Details dialog box, and make changes there.

To review the translations in the localization toolkit

1. In Developer Studio, open the localization package definition.
2. In the Localization Status section, click Translation Status.
    The Details tab displays the Translation Status panel.
   
   The panel lists the following information:
   • Locale—A list of the locales to which you are localizing. Select the locale whose status you want to view.
   • Do Not Translate—The number of items you do not want translated. To modify which items you want translated, click the number and select the items.
   • Ready to Translate—The number of items that will be translated. This number is updated when you extract the strings. (See Extracting-the-strings-for-localization.)
   • Ready for Review—The number of items that have already been translated and are ready for you to review. This number is updated after you import the translated strings. (See Importing-the-translated-strings.)
   • Flagged—Items that you should review before sending to the translators. To flag items, click the number and select the items.
   • Reviewed—Items that you have reviewed. They are also listed with the Do Not Translate or Ready to Translate items.
3. Click the number link for one of the following translation states:
   • Ready to Translate
   • Ready for Review
   • Flagged

      The Localization Item Details dialog box appears.
