Translator Overview
-------------------

[](#translator-overview)

Translator is a field type, that provides a UI in the form of a field for static translations from your templates. This way authors can edit translatable text snippets in the actual entry, category, ... they are used in. Making the translations editable on this level provides ensures a better author experience.

Using Translator
----------------

[](#using-translator)

Translator will pick up all the static translations from your templates and provides them as an option for your field.

Saving a new translation will add it to the static translations file (`translations/locale/site.php`). If no value exists or the file does not exists it will add it to the file or generate the file.

Translator Roadmap
------------------

[](#translator-roadmap)
