The Change History module stores all the translated strings into a database after one hour, making it easy to:
- view the previous versions of a translation
- see what was changed from one translation variant to another
- recover translations in bulk in case of accidental loss.
The Change History is available from the Start plan.
How to see previous translations for a string
To see the Change History link for a term, hover your mouse over the string to be translated.
When there is no translation in the translation box, the link will appear only if there is at least one translation stored in the database for that term, that is at least one hour old.
When there is a translation available in the translation box, the link will appear only if there are at least two translations stored in the database for that term, that are at least one hour old.
How to see all the changes in a language
To see all the changes in a localized language and what exactly was changed, go to View Change History.
The changes are highlighted as shown below.
Recovering the last translation variant
Owners and admins can recover the last saved variant from the Change History. The system will prompt them about this when it detects empty translation boxes that were once filled in.
