================
283+
284+
Going through many, many translated strings can be a tedious task, but still important for the
285+
overall result. Here are some tips for you that focus on the quality and speed in a balanced
286+
matter.
287+
288+
Use the "QA Checks" feature to solve issues found by Crowdin. Crowdin does a good handfull of
289+
checks for different issues and highlights them as things thats not necessary a problem, but
290+
should be checked. UA Checks is highligted on the project Dashboard. A common issue is, what
291+
Crowdin consider as spell errors. By going through the spellchecks, you can ignore words and
292+
Crowdin should remember and ignore them in the future.
293+

Use the batch approval view in the Editor view, to get many translations done in a few steps. By changing the
299+
view from "Comfortable" to "Side-by-side", you get a full view of the translated strings and words.
300+
You can select more/all strings and approve all selected strings in one click.

305+
306+
Finally, if you do both translation and approval in Crowdin (some of us do..), there is a neat
307+
little feature we will share with you: The fabulous "Auto-approve" feature! As a proofreader or
308+
higher, translations added by you will be automatically approved, when you save. You find the
309+
feature under the "Editor Settings" just beside your logo in the top right corner.
