A column is added for each Translation language; each column contains 'Translation', 'Back Translation', 'Notes' and 'Approved' checkbox.

5. Add Back Translation

Back Translation: is a reference to the original meaning of the Term. Back translations are not required and should only be added if they will add value or if requested for review. In the below example, after translating the Term 'Big Apple' in Arabic, the Back Translation is 'New York' referring to the original meaning of 'Big Apple'.
NOTE: The 'Back Translation' column does not appear in the default view. To show it, click 'Columns' and select 'Back Translation.'

6. More Suggestions

When trying to add a Translation, the user is given three options to choose from:

1. Inheritance: Suggestions for common Terms that are proposed by Pixelogic "Generic"
2. AKA: Suggestions of other Terms in the same scope that are AKAs to this one.
3. More: Possible translations from the system, regardless of which Title they belong to.
   

 

Under "More", a list of suggested translations is provided for the selected Character (Term) from other Titles that are found in the Localization Library.  NOTE: "PXTL" → Title, "PXSR" → Series.

7. Optimize the Display

Depending on the resolution of your computer monitor and the zoom settings on your Chrome browser, when you open the Localization Library, the layout may not be optimal. 
In the below example, only the ‘English (US) Translations’ are showing even though ‘Arabic’ is entered in the search box and partially displayed on the screen, as shown below.

To show the Arabic column, you will need to use the browser’s zoom settings to zoom out until you can see all the language columns on the screen.

Click on the three vertical dots (or the up arrow) located on the top right corner of the browser window (as shown in #1) and adjust the zoom settings (as shown in #2).

 

You can see all the Languages on the whole screen, as shown below.
