How to Translate Your Jira
By default, Catalan Translate for Jira comes with a base dictionary that includes some basic translations to provide users with an initial version of Jira in Catalan right from the start.
To begin translating your Jira, go to Apps -> Catalan Translate for Jira, and in the left-hand menu, select the “Pending” option. (If you haven’t configured the Addon yet, please follow these instructions).
In this tab, you will see all the words that are pending translation into Catalan. Translating to Catalan is as easy as finding the word you want to translate (in the Key column), typing the word you want to display instead in the Translation field, and adding that translation to the dictionary. Once this is done, the word moves to the Translated dictionary, which you can view in the “Translations” tab.
Remember to click the “Sync Dictionary” button to send this information to all users.
Don’t have anything to translate?
Catalan Translate for Jira uses a Chrome or Edge extension to collect all the Jira texts that have not yet been translated. This functionality ensures that no text is forgotten in the translation process.
The first time a translator accesses Catalan Translate for Jira, no content will appear for translation because no users have started using the extension yet.
How to Update a Translation
In Catalan Translate for Jira, you may occasionally need to update an existing translation to improve accuracy or adjust the wording. The process is simple and can be done directly within the Translations tab, which holds all the words and phrases that have already been translated.
Here’s how to update a translation:
Go to the Translations Tab:
Start by navigating to Apps -> Catalan Translate for Jira, and in the left-hand menu, select the Translations tab. Here, you will see all the words and phrases that have already been translated into Catalan.
Find the Word or Phrase You Want to Update:
Browse through the list of translated terms or use the search function to find the specific word or phrase you want to update.
Edit the Translation:
Once you have located the translation you want to update, click on the translation field. This will allow you to modify the existing translation. Type in the new translation or make the necessary changes.
Save and Update:
After making the desired changes, make sure to click the Update Translation button to save the new version of the translation.
Sync the Dictionary:
Once you’ve updated the translation, it’s important to sync the dictionary across your organization. This ensures that all users will see the updated translation in their Jira interface. To do this, click the Sync Dictionary button.
By following these steps, you can easily ensure that all translations are up-to-date and accurate for all users across your Jira site.
Discarding Translations
As explained, Catalan for Jira collects as much information as possible for translation. This has advantages, such as the ability to fully customize the translation into Catalan, but also some drawbacks, like occasionally detecting strings we don’t want to translate, such as dates, symbols, etc.
To manage these cases, Catalan Translate for Jira offers an option to discard translations. When you go to the “Pending” tab, for each translation option, you have the choice to “Discard Translation.”
By performing this action, the “Key” to be translated is moved to the Discarded dictionary, making it easier to focus on translating the remaining words that you do want to translate.
You can review and reverse the discarded translation option from the “Discarded” tab, allowing you to translate the previously discarded words in the future.
