Re-Translate existing values?

[Jay-o-Way]

So, I'm just stumbling upon this. Looks like I can use this to create translations for missing values. But what if the original value (with existing translation) is changed? How can I re-evaluate all the strings?

Just clear the items that you want to re-translate

Well, to be fair, I just tried it this week. But we are changing a lot of strings in our repo right now. I see I can create new (cloud) translations for new strings that have no translation yet. But the use case is: what if an existing original string is changed? How to re-translate, overwriting the existing translations? Different services give different results, so the one that matches the existing translation the most is the best one.

When you change the neutral string, just remove all existing translations

so the one that matches the existing translation the most

There's no AI built in to evaluate a match score to an existing translation.

Also that score would depend on how much the neutral string has changed.

Oh okay. Then, I think I misunderstood the following text. I'll try again soon.

All results can be reviewed by opening the combo box in the target column. The results are ordered by the quality of the translation that the service reports. If you had already a translation of the same term in your project, the quality is the number of occurrences of this translation. Existing translations will have a higher quality rank than translations by a service.

Existing translations means that there is already a translation in another place
