How GitLab empowers translators with more context

GitLab's translation process is supported by a global community of volunteers who help make the software accessible in 78 languages, leveraging an open-core model that grants translators access to the product development context. This model allows translators to better understand the meaning and intent behind translatable strings, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy in technical domains. To further enhance this process, GitLab has introduced a new feature that embeds contextual links within translatable strings, allowing translators to trace the history and context of each string through code searches, merge requests, and planning discussions, thereby improving the quality of translations. This approach offers a deeper understanding beyond traditional aids like screenshots, enabling translators to grasp the technical concepts and decision-making processes behind the terms they translate. GitLab is also developing more AI-powered contextual features to further assist translators in understanding string usage and placement, aiming to continuously improve the translation experience and product quality.
