Find your work, translate safely, and follow a draft through review.
Captions are included in the video. Use fullscreen for a closer look.
Follow the steps
1. Sign in with your invited email
Enter your email, then request a code.
More guidance
Meet Lena, our demo translator. She enters the email her administrator invited, then chooses Send sign-in code. There is no password to remember. Lena and Mia are fictional accounts in this demonstration.
2. Find the code in your email
The large six-digit number is your sign-in code.
More guidance
Open the FEMM sign-in email and find the large six-digit code. It expires after ten minutes and works once. This is a demonstration inbox; no real email was sent. Keep your own codes private.
3. Enter the code in the same tab
Choose Verify and sign in.
More guidance
Return to the tab where you requested the code. Enter the six digits, then choose Verify and sign in. If a code expires, request a new one; the old code will stop working.
4. Your welcome and tutorial
You can return to Help at any time.
More guidance
The welcome popup points you to this tutorial. Choose Open tutorial for help, or Start working to continue. The question mark at the bottom of the sidebar always brings you back to the guide.
5. Move between screens
The pencil opens Editor.
More guidance
Projects shows your subprojects, files, languages and progress. Use the icons on the left to move between screens. Hover for their names. Yellow highlights in this guide mark a sidebar click; the pencil opens Editor.
6. Choose a file and language
Subproject, file and target language set your workspace.
More guidance
Lena chooses INI GOAL, goals dot ini, and Spanish. English is the source, and Spanish is the translation. The examples cover menstrual flow, ovulation, cervical mucus and cycle days. Your administrator assigns which languages you can work on.
7. Find untranslated keys
Translated and approved measure different things.
More guidance
Choose Untranslated to find keys that still need text. The progress indicators separate text that exists from text that has been approved. Find Menstrual flow in English, then click its Spanish value to start a simple text edit.
8. Save a simple draft
Write the translation, then choose Save.
More guidance
Lena writes Flujo menstrual, the Spanish wording for Menstrual flow, and chooses Save. This creates a draft. Saving does not approve it. The key now disappears from the Untranslated filter; clear that filter to find it again.
9. Send several drafts for review
Select translations, then Send for review.
More guidance
To send several translations together, select their checkboxes and choose Send for review. Lena selects Menstrual flow and Ovulation day. Only those translations are included; a batch still needs a named reviewer and a confirmation.
10. Choose Mia and confirm the handoff
Review the preview, then Submit for review.
More guidance
Lena chooses Mia, the reviewer, and previews the action. Read the preview before confirming. The drafts become In review, and Mia receives one notification for this batch. If checks fail, correct the problems before submitting.
11. Keep placeholders unchanged
Leave {} exactly as in English.
More guidance
In Cycle day, the braces stand for the day number that the app fills later. Lena writes Día, followed by the placeholder, then del ciclo. The words can move to suit Spanish, but the braces stay unchanged. Checks help catch placeholder mistakes before review.
12. Translate between protected HTML tags
Edit the words; keep the numbered tags.
More guidance
Content with HTML opens in a protected popup. Type into the text blocks between numbered tags. The matching source passage highlights as you work. Leave the tags, links and attributes intact. You can resize or maximize the popup.
13. Submit HTML directly from the popup
Choose a reviewer, then Save & submit for review.
More guidance
You can send HTML for review directly from this popup. Choose Mia, then Save and submit for review. Save draft keeps it for later instead. This demonstration preserves the copied Spanish wording and changes only whitespace.
14. Open long pages as a document
The book icon opens Document view.
More guidance
For long pages, use the book icon to open Document view. Source and target appear as parallel documents with surrounding paragraphs visible. Each paragraph still maps to its original JSON key; this is a reading layout, not an exact website preview.
15. Edit a paragraph with its context
Keep inline links intact in the raw value.
More guidance
Select a Spanish paragraph to edit it while English remains read-only. Keep inline HTML and link destinations unchanged. Formatted preview helps check appearance. Saving updates this paragraph’s mapped value, without combining or rearranging keys.
16. Protect your unsaved work
Choose Keep editing to return to your paragraph.
More guidance
If you switch pages with unsaved text, the app asks what to do. Keep editing returns to the paragraph. Save and continue saves it first. Discard and continue throws away only the changes made since your last save.
17. Save and submit one paragraph
Document view uses the same named review workflow.
More guidance
Choose Mia for this paragraph and select Save and submit for review. Each paragraph saves separately. The existing checks and review status apply here too; the rest of the document and its inline links stay unchanged.
18. Leave unused optional sections alone
Optional null values are not untranslated text.
More guidance
Show unused optional sections reveals entries marked Optional, not used. These are meaningful null values, not empty translations to fill in. Leave them unchanged. Key details are available when you need the technical mapping.
19. Mia has her own reviewer account
The bell opens actions waiting for you.
More guidance
Mia signs in with her own invited email and code. Separate accounts keep a record of who translated and who reviewed. The bell shows actions for her, including Lena’s submissions. Open Notifications to find the work.
20. Expand a batch and open its translation
One summary per recipient; each translation keeps its own link.
More guidance
A bulk action creates one notification and one summary email for each recipient who receives emails. Mia expands View two translations to see Lena’s batch, then clicks Menstrual flow. Each link opens and highlights that exact translation. Opening it marks the batch notification as read. Expanding the list alone does not.
21. Review the highlighted translation
Compare English, Spanish and saved checks.
More guidance
The highlighted row is the translation from the message. Compare it with English and read any saved checks. Mia is the assigned reviewer for this revision. Only the assigned, eligible reviewer can approve it or ask for changes.
22. Amend the final wording and approve
Save & approve records your amendment and decision together.
More guidance
Mia can correct the final wording herself. For Menstrual flow, she changes the demo wording from Flujo menstrual to Sangrado menstrual, then selects Save and approve. Her amendment and approval are recorded together, without asking someone else for another review.
23. Check approval and history
History keeps the translator’s version and the reviewer’s amendment.
More guidance
The translation is now Approved. History records Lena’s draft and submission, Mia’s final wording, and the time of approval. A saved draft and an approved translation are different. Approved exports use the reviewed value.
24. Approve selected reviews together
Preview the selected items before confirming.
More guidance
My reviews lists work assigned to Mia. She selects Ovulation day to approve it. She can also select several translations and approve them together. Preview the selection, then confirm. The batch respects assignments, checks and source revisions.
25. Ask for changes with clear feedback
Not approve returns work with your explanation.
More guidance
If a translation needs more work, choose Not approve and explain what should change. The feedback stays in history and notifies the translator. Lena can edit the draft and submit it again to the named reviewer.
26. Confirm the request for changes
Scroll through long previews to reach the confirmation.
More guidance
Read the preview before confirming. For long content, scroll inside this dialog to reach Request changes. Confirming returns the translation to Changes requested and sends the feedback to Lena. The translation text itself stays unchanged.
27. Follow approvals and feedback in one place
Notifications brings actions and decisions together.
More guidance
Lena’s notifications now show Mia’s approval, amendment and request for changes. Expand a batch to see its translation links, or open an individual message directly. Review the feedback before revising and submitting again. Reading a message does not change the translation’s review status.
28. Mark or hide messages in a batch
Select all, then Mark as read or Hide.
More guidance
Select individual messages or use Select all for the current notification view. Mark as read clears the unread markers. Hide moves messages out of the inbox; you can find them under Hidden and restore them later.
29. Choose whether to receive event emails
Each recipient controls their own email preference.
More guidance
Each person chooses whether to receive notification emails. Lena’s setting controls emails sent to Lena; Mia chooses her own preference for emails sent to Mia. These emails are on by default. Turning them off keeps your notifications in the app and does not stop sign-in codes.
30. Return to the tutorial whenever you need it
Help includes chapters, written steps and a transcript.
More guidance
Use Help whenever you want a reminder. The tutorial includes chapter links, written steps and a transcript. Your role controls the actions you see. Super users manage regular accounts, while project administration and file uploads stay with authorized managers and administrators.
