How to create labels for your translations?

In this article, you'll learn how to create labels for your translations to improve the translation management of your project(s).




1. What is a label?

You can create labels for your translations. This is useful as it allows you to group your translations into several categories or to find them in your Translation List easily.


To access the feature, go to your Weglot Dashboard > Translations and click on the language pair you want to edit.

If you click on a translation, you will see a panel on the right with a "General Information" section and a "Label" part:


When you select a language pair and reach your Translation List, you can see the filter button on the right side (Search Filters - How to easily find a translation?).

Using it, you can see the "Label" filter and select one or several labels to find and display the associated translations to edit them. 


You can also use the "Quality" filter or any other filter we propose to target your translations better.


2. How to modify labels?

When you access the "Labels" feature on a translation, you can enter the label you want by typing its name and hitting a comma or pressing Enter.

By clicking in the "Labels" field, you will see the existing labels and link/unlink labels to your translation.

To edit the existing labels, you can click on the pen button on the right of "Labels":

Once you click on this button, a new tab opens and there you can view all your labels, and edit or delete them.

3. What are automatic labels?

Here is a list of some "automatic" labels that can be added by Weglot to your translations:

  • Google Feed: for translations coming from Google feeds
  • Sitemap: for translations coming from your sitemap
  • RSS
  • Data feed

  • Custom definition: for translations coming from custom codes*
  • Content-approved: translations coming from approved detected content when "Automatic content translation" is disabled (see this article we made)
  • Import: when the translation is coming from an imported file (see this article we made)

*Custom codes are codes added in the back office by the Weglot team to ensure the full translation of your website. Automatic custom codes are codes that are not added by Weglot Support members after a user's request, but by Weglot by default, to have a website properly translated.
