You have started a review task to review translations for a live web application.



Steps

Pre-requisite: RigiJS must be active (e.g. via the Rigi Chrome Extension).

This section describes the steps when you execute a live LAT.
  1. Click Start review.


    This opens a dialog where you could change the URL of the live web application.



  2. Click Start.

    This opens a new browser window with the live site.



    Make sure that you have loaded the Rigi language. In many cases, this will be the default for the staging server. If not, check out the description that the Project Manager provided for this task.

  3. Show the Rigi window and live application window side-by-side.



    The Rigi window shows the list of strings that are shown on the current live page.

  4. Navigate through the web application.

    Assume that that you spotted an error!



  5. Move your mouse over the text.

  9. Click Create.

    The text in the string list gets a badge with the number of issues for this string.



    You can click the badge to see and/or edit the issue.

  10. The status bar shows the amount of strings on the current page that are verified and unverified.



    The objective of an LAT is to mark all strings that were reviewed as verified..
