UI strings & plurals

The UI strings and UI plurals tabs edit rows in your strings.json catalog. Dashboard changes write directly to that file — not to the SQLite documentation cache.

Use these tabs when a UI label or plural form needs a manual fix after translate-ui or sync.

UI strings tab

Lists non-plural entries from strings.json — one row per string id and locale.

Filters

Filter	Purpose
Id / hash	String id or hash
Filename (partial) / Select filepath	Source file scope
Source contains / Translated contains	Text substring
Locale	Single locale or all
Model	Model that produced the translation

Edit

1. Click the edit icon on a row.
2. Change the translated text and save.

The entry's models[locale] is set to user-edited. Run plain sync or translate-ui to refresh flat locale files (de.json, etc.). Do not use --force — it re-translates every entry and can overwrite manual fixes.

When glossary.autoAddUserEditedToGlossary is true (default), the next translate-ui or sync can append your edit to the user glossary CSV automatically — see Configuration.

Delete

• Row delete icon — removes one locale bucket from an entry.
• Delete filtered — bulk delete all locale buckets matching current filters.

Log links

The 🔗 control prints source file:line locations from the entry's locations array to the terminal.

UI plurals tab

Lists plural-group entries ("plural": true in strings.json). Each row shows one locale's cardinal forms (one, other, and locale-specific forms).

Filters

Same as the UI strings tab, plus:

Filter	Purpose
Complete / Incomplete	Whether all required CLDR forms are present for the selected locale

Incomplete rows are missing one or more required forms for that locale.

Edit

1. Click the edit icon on a row.
2. Edit each CLDR form in the modal (one textarea per form).
3. Save — empty form strings are removed on save.

The entry's models[locale] is set to user-edited. Run plain sync or translate-ui afterward (not --force).

Other columns

• Forms — displays one: "…", other: "…", etc.
• zeroDigit badge — read-only indicator when the source uses a digit-zero plural pattern.

Required forms come from CLDR rules per locale (requiredPluralFormsByLocale).

Delete

Same as UI strings: per-locale delete or Delete filtered bulk action.
