How to search for a string in Transifex

If you find a specific string on the platform that you’d like to translate or update, you can search the string in Transifex.

Step 1: Start by clicking Search Strings at the top of the page.

Step 2: Click on the search field, and select source_text. This will allow you to search by the English string. If you are looking for a string in another language, select translation_text instead.

Step 3: Type the string between the single quote marks that have been provided to you. Example: source_text:'Your text here'

Step 4: To narrow your search results, select edx-platform from the Project filter. It may also be helpful to filter by Resource if you know which resource you’re looking for (check the Resource Map for guidance).

From here you’ll be able to select the string by Target Language and update the string’s translation.
