Translation Editor
Being a CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tool, Zing includes a powerful translation editor with multiple features.
Translation Memory
Zing can aid translators by suggesting texts that have previously been translated.
Translation Memory suggestions are automatically retrieved when you open a new translation unit — these are displayed below the editing widget.
The differences between the current string and the suggested string are highlighted, allowing translators to easily spot what has changed.
Configuring
To enable Translation Memory support, first ensure you have an Elasticsearch
server up & running and accessible from the Zing server. Then, proceed to
specify the connection details in the
ZING_TM_SERVER setting.
If you just set up the TM server and your Zing server already had projects with existing translations, you may want to populate the TM index:
zing update_tmserver
This is a one-time operation: after this, Zing will keep the TM index up-to-date.

To enable a certain Machine Translation Service, edit your configuration file
and add the desired service within the
