Setting length limit to a phrase

 

1. Go to "Phrases"

2. Click "Set character limit" for the phrase that you'd like to set a length limit

  • By default, we have set a length limit of "2 x characters", i.e. the translation shouldn't contain more than 2 times the number of characters that are contained in the original string. 
  • If you prefer to set an absolute length limit instead of a relative one, click "Actually I want to set an absolute length limit" and you will be able to enter the number of characters directly.  

You can specify whether the translators have to strictly follow the length limit. If you select "must not exceed that", translators will not be able to submit a translation that is longer than the limit set. 

Unless you have a very strict length limit, we recommend choosing the option: "can exceed a little" because for languages that generally have longer spellings, say German, it might be impossible to shorten the translation without altering the original source text.

If you select: "can exceed a little", translators will be warned first before finally submitting a translation that exceeds the length limit. In that case, translators can also discuss with you via our commenting function to discuss any potential modification that can be made to ensure the translation can fit your UI.

 
* For app store description projects (i.e. iTunes description / Google Play description), the OneSky platform has automatically taken care of the length limits set by iTunes and Google Play and translators won't be able to submit translations that exceed the length limit.

    1. Text Input Fields: In web forms or applications, text input fields (e.g., usernames, passwords, comments) may have character limits to ensure that the input does not exceed a certain length.

    2. Social Media Posts: Social media platforms often impose character limits on posts (e.g., Twitter's 280-character limit) to encourage concise communication. AARPMedicare

    3. URLs: URLs have a maximum length defined by web standards to ensure compatibility across different systems.

    4. SMS Messages: SMS messages have a maximum character limit (usually 160 characters) due to limitations in the underlying mobile network protocols.

    5. Titles and Headings: Titles and headings in documents or websites may have length limits to maintain visual consistency and layout.

    Thanks and regards
