The green button will let you download all the language pairs in a single TBX file. You can also download specific language pairs by clicking on the small button to...
New API endpoints: zip_file and top_translators

New in WebTranslateIt: Top Translators
I just released Top Translators. This feature is a page which ranks the most active translators on a project. This is useful to reward the most active contributors on open-source or crowd-sourced translation projects.
You can filter this list by team, or see the user’s ranking across all language teams.
I hope you will find this feature useful. Thank you for using WebTranslateIt.

Translate complete matches is a batch operation that looks for repetitions within your project (repetitions are segments matching entirely another segment which is already translated). When possible, this batch operation automatically translates the segment using the project translation memory. When no...
