The tab that is selected is highlighted. For this example the Overview button is highlighted for the Project Overview page.

• Overview - a summary of the project, showing the data source, history, and a summary of Globalyzer and Localyzer configuration

The Globalyzer Icon opens the Globalyzer Report page with the details of the Globalyzer analysis.

• Total Remaining Issues - all the issues that Globayzer has identified. This card is selectable and will take you to the Issues page.
• Total Issues Fixed - how many issues have been fixed since the project was created.
• Total Issues Density - number of issues divided by the number of lines of code that were scanned.
• Issues Types Breakdown - What types of issues were found.
• Issues Priorities Breakdown or Issues Severities Breakdown- A list of the severity of the issues. This can be toggled in the Advanced Settings.
• Issue Scans Breakdown - The rulesets used and the items scanned for.

Localyzer

[Admin, Manager, Developer, Translator]

The Localyzer Icon opens up the Localyzer Report page. The Localyzer page has a number of icons on the left side for actions that can be done.

Send kit to translation - send the latest prep kit to be translated at the specified Translation Management System or Machine Translation engine.

Check Import - Check the translation management system to see if translations are available to import.

Deactivate last translation kit - deactivate the last translation kit that was sent. A translation kit cannot be deactivated if any part of it has been imported.

Reset all translation kits - this is used as a reset for the project.

Create project baseline - Set the baseline so that the database can keep track of translation changes and imports. While creating and configuring the project, it does not have a baseline.

String Manager

Overview

[Admin, Manager, Developer, Translator]

String manager provides visibility into each key/value pair managed by Localyzer.

From the search box input text, find strings that match by their values, by their keys, by their filename. Filter strings that need to be sent, or have been sent and are not yet translated, or strings which are fully translated. Sort strings based on the text itself, the key, the filename, or the time it was found.

• In the screen shot above, strings that match 'model' and are 'to be sent' are displayed.

Strings can be set 'to be reviewed', or 'reviewed', or neither. Certain strings will be marked 'to be reviewed' by the system. Filtering allows to select strings based on the status of the string.

A link for a specific resource points the browser to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository/project/branch/key-value pair. Typically, only developers will have access to their repositories and modify source strings.

Developers create and maintain the source strings, and if some strings need to be changed, only developers can change them. Users without access to the repository can copy the link and send it to the development team with some explanation, via Slack, Teams, Email, etc.

Localyzer makes changes to the target files with translations, pseudo-translation, context files, or LocalyzerQA type files. Developers should not modify those, especially outside of the branch where Localyzer pushed them, for fear of merge conflicts.

Issues

[Admin, Manager, Developer, Translator]

The Issues icon opens the Issues page and will show all the Globalyzer and Localyzer issues. Once the issues page is open, the issues can be searched, filtered and sorted.

Selecting an issue in the list will show more detail about the issue, including its status, type and priority.

• Go to line in source code - will take the user to the line of code in the repository, for users with repository access.
• Learn more about this issue - will open up documentation about the issue.
• Comments - any comments can be added about Globalyzer issues. They will remain after further analyses.

Project logs

[Admin, Manager, Developer, Translator]

The Console Logs icon opens up the logs to show when the project has been analyzed. Selecting any of the lines will open the log and show more detail.

In this example:

• The user making the change is testAdmin
• The version of Command Center is given
• One setting in the General Settings was changed
  • Tags were modified on the project: FTP to FTP and Build 5

Edit Project configuration

[Admin, Manager]

The Edit icon will open the Edit Project Configuration page. There are several icons on the left side of the page.

Edit a project

There are multiple ways to get to edit a project.

First, from the Projects page, hover over the project and the Edit button will appear.

Second, select the project name (or the Globalyzer or Localyzer icon) to go to the Overview, Globalyzer or Localyzer page. Select the Configure button on the top to get to the Edit Project Configuration page.

From this page, any of the settings can be changed.

When changes are made and saved, a notice appears at the top of the screen about the project being updated. The project does not run until it is manually run or by an automated task.
