Review the translation

Hi all,

I am in the midst of translating the main site into bahasa (my native language, don't worry!)
There are thousands of strings. :D

Is there anyway I can review the translation that I did (even before it's validation), or to preview the translations (in group) to check the context and expression ?
Example Board Game Fair refers to Board Game equality/justice OR Board game kind of (fun)fair?
I think it would be good to preview the translated strings, so that I do not run out of context.

Hi!

Yes, lots of strings indeed :)
Thanks for your interest in translating BGA in your language!

At some point, we would like to allow for in place translating (something like toggle a "translate flag", then get small "edit" buttons beside translatable strings) but this may take some time to happen since there is so much we would like to do ;)

For now, my advice is to choose the more literal translation to translate fast, then once the mainsite translation is around 80% complete, tell us so that we open the site in your language, and then fix mistakes (if any) when you see them.

About "Board Game Fair", it refers to an event such as a game convention.

Happy translating!
