New feature: Translate together in real time with your team! (Patreon)
Content
Hello fellow translators,
We are pleased to introduce a major milestone in the development ofTranslator++: NetCollab, our new real-time collaboration add-on.
Many of you work in teams, and we know how tedious it can be to constantly passproject files back and forth, manage version control, or manually mergetranslations. NetCollab was built to simplify this process, allowing one user tohost a project while other team members join as collaborators to work on thesame session over the network.
We have put together a startup guide video to help you get up and running. Hereis a look at what NetCollab brings to your translation workflow:
Real-Time Synchronization: Standard cell edits, machine translations, andeven automation-driven changes sync instantly across connected clients.
Metadata Sharing: Beyond standard text, NetCollab synchronizes importanthelper data like row tags, comments, cell info, and Translation By Contextupdates.
Collaborator Presence Indicators: Much like a collaborative spreadsheet, youcan see exactly where your team members are active in the grid and filelist.
Seamless Offline Mode: If you disconnect from the host, you can continuetranslating offline. Once you are back online, your pending changes will besynchronized with the host automatically.
Host-Owned Safety Model: To prevent save conflicts, the host remains theproject owner (managing tasks like saving, injecting, and exporting), whileclients focus strictly on translating and editing.
How to get started:
To try it out, open Translator++ and navigate to Options > Add-ons > Install,then search for NetCollab. Please remember to restart Translator++ after theinstallation for the changes to take effect.
This feature is still evolving, and your feedback is incredibly valuable as wecontinue to refine the collaborative workflow. Thank you so much for yourcontinuous support of Translator++—it is because of your backing that we cankeep developing and expanding these tools.
Please check out the attached (or the following) video for a step-by-step demonstration!
Happy translating,
