How to Quickly Do a Lot of Linking
From Trang's Blog:In April, 2011, I've implemented the possibility to filter the languages of the translations. If you go to your settings, and add "jpn,hun,swe" in the languages field, you will only see translations in Japanese, Hungarian and Swedish. You will still be able to view sentences in all the languages though, only the translations are filtered. And by the way, if you want to know what is the language code of a language, they are listed in the sentences statistics page.
So with all these features, if you are a trusted user (now called "advanced contributor") and in the mood for massive linking, what I'd advise you to do is the following.
- Go to your settings and your languages in which you are able to link. This way, you will not be annoyed translations you don't understand in sentences that have 50+ translations.
- Browse your sentences in "translate" mode, and link anything you can link. Actually, you can even browse sentences of anyone you want, and link anything you can link.
- When you're done, you can go back to your settings and erase the languages, so that you can see again the translations in all languages.
