We all know the importance of context in ensuring that you have a quality translation. This is why the Smartling Translation Management System enables context for a variety of projects – files, docs, websites.
For websites, in some cases it’s difficult to capture dynamic content — a modal dialog, a hover menu, or text loaded by ajax — because it isn’t visible in the initial load of the page. The Smartling Context Capture Extension solves this problem by allowing you to take a HTML snapshot of any state of a web page.
Translators will see these snapshots and better understand how their translations fit linguistically and visually into the context of the page. Because Smartling captures HTML, not just a screenshot, the translation text can be inserted into the markup to test its fit.
The extension is a free plugin that you can install via the Chrome Store here. More.
