Often times, a translator does not have enough relevant contextual information to do an accurate translation. To ensure the highest quality of translation, it is very important to add any relevant and additional contextual information. This can be done by adding notes and descriptions.
This can be done in two ways:
- importing string comments or tags as notes
- through the OneSky web platform
1. Importing string comments or tags as notes
Most localization string files support comments or tags and these correlate to Notes. See the full list of file formats that OneSky supports importing comments or tags as notes.
2. Adding notes through the platform
E.g. for the phrase "orange", you can include a description saying that it is referring to the fruit "orange" instead of the color "orange".
1. Go to "Phrases"
2. Click "Add notes" for the phrase that you'd like to add a description
3. Add your description under "Notes to translator"
What would the translators see? (Phrase description)
If you have added description for a phrase, it will be displayed at the top of the translation field in the translation tool.

TranslatorsAuction is the translation exchange with a free selection of the best performer for the Auction principle.
It provides the unique opportunity to conduct the ruled auction: preliminary testing, cross assessment by potential authors the works of the other applicants, ranging the results of the tests according to the points gained by "blind" assessment. The conditions allow the customer to choose the option, which is the most suitable for his requirements in compliance with the ratio suggested price – points of the general rating.
There are three options for placing orders:
- with the selection of translators without testing, by personal preference or the current rating;
- with the test task for applicants, which is not providing payment for performance;
- with payment for a test task to the translator, who will be chosen by the customer, for the attraction of significant number of authors and quick data acquisition for the choice of the applicant.
For the translators, offering their services at the exchange, the performance of the competitive translations can be a key to obtaining good orders or one of the ways of increasing rating.
