Collaborative Localization Editor

​Crowdin's collaborative localization editor is a web application. But did you know that like your desktop applications it has some "hot keys" or keyboard shortcuts to help you be even more efficient in getting your tasks done?

Alt + Enter     » Skip current translation phrase
Ctrl + Enter    » Suggest translation
Alt + C         » Copy source phrase to translation textarea
Alt + Backspace » Clear translation textarea
Alt + Down      » Show/Hide translation context
Tab             » Switch between translation textarea and translation suggestions
Ctrl + F        » Search in source strings
Ctrl + R        » Find & Replace in suggestions (available only for proofreaders)

Also when Suggestions area is focused

Up/Down Arrow   » Select suggestion
Enter           » Use selected suggestion

So, for example, if you'd like to suggest your translation for some source phrase and the source phrase is selected, press Tab and use Up / Down Arrows to select suitable translation. Then press Enter (Return) to select suggestion as translation. Now you can edit your translation or press Ctrl+Enter to submit the translation and proceed to next phrase. Use Alt+Enter to skip source phrases.
