Managing Your Translations

While SwiftLingo provides high-quality automated translations, you have complete control to refine them to match your brand’s unique voice and terminology. The Translation Management dashboard is your central hub for viewing, editing, and managing all your website’s translations.

Navigating the Dashboard

The dashboard is designed for ease of use, allowing you to quickly find and manage any piece of translated text.

• Filter by Language: Use the dropdown menu to select a specific language. This will display all the translations for that language, making it easy to manage your content on a per-language basis.

  

• Search Translations: Use the search bar to find specific translations instantly. You can search using either the original text or the translated text, which is useful for quickly locating a specific phrase or sentence.

Key Management Features

Manual Override: Editing a Translation

Sometimes, you may want to tweak a translation to better fit a specific context or to use company-specific terminology. The manual override feature gives you this control.

1. Find the translation you wish to edit.
2. Click on the text in the “Translation” column.
3. Enter your custom translation in the text box and save your changes.

Once saved, your manual translation will be displayed instead of the automated one. It will be marked with a special icon in the dashboard to indicate that it has been manually overridden.

Restoring an Automated Translation

If you’ve made a manual edit and want to revert to SwiftLingo’s automated translation, you can easily do so.

1. Locate the manually overridden translation you want to restore.
2. Click the “Restore” icon next to the translation.

This will remove your manual override and restore the original, automated translation.

Deleting a Translation

Deleting a translation removes it from SwiftLingo’s database. This action is typically performed for two main reasons:

1. To re-trigger a fresh automatic translation: If you want SwiftLingo to re-translate a specific piece of text from scratch, deleting its current translation will prompt the system to create a new one upon re-discovery.
2. When the original text is no longer used: If the source text has been permanently removed from your website, you can delete its corresponding translation to keep your translation database clean.

To delete a translation:

1. Find the translation you wish to remove.
2. Click the “Delete” icon.
