  • Center Middle: Where you write the new translation
  • Center Bottom: Shows the current translation(if any), and how the same word/string have been translated in other languages
  • Right Side: Any discussions on translating this word/string, useful for making notes for the future if someone later opens the same word.
  • Left side: Shows the list of word/strings for the section you're viewing at the moment. Instances that have been translated have a green marker next to them, while untranslated entires are marked red.
