If you've uploaded some screenshots to your project and linked them to existing translation keys, you might be wondering how to filter out only those keys connected to a specific screenshot. The good news is, there's a special Filter by screenshots feature just for that!
Filtering by screenshots
To get started, open your project editor and click on the Filter by screenshots icon. Keep in mind, this icon will only be visible if screenshots have been uploaded to the project.
Once you click on the icon, select one of the screenshots to display only the keys linked to it.
Now, you’ll see just the relevant keys, allowing you to manage them as needed!
Organizing screenshots with tags
Got a lot of screenshots, and finding the right one is getting tricky? Organize your screenshots with tags!
Adding screenshot tags
To tag your screenshots, head to the Screenshots page by clicking on the corresponding menu item.
Click on the label icon under a screenshot's title to add or manage tags.
Alternatively, click on the screenshot itself to edit its details in a separate dialog.
To add or remove tags from multiple screenshots at once, select them by ticking the checkboxes next to their names. Then, choose the Tags: add/remove action from the dropdown.
Enter the tag names and press either the Remove or Add button.
Searching screenshots by tags
Once your screenshots are tagged, you can filter them by tags. In the project editor, enable the Filter by screenshots feature and choose one of the following options from the dropdown:
All screenshots — lists all the screenshots uploaded to the current project.
Tags contains any of — lists screenshots with at least one of the selected tags.
Tag contains all — lists screenshots that have all the selected tags. For example, if a screenshot has the tags "setup" and "main", it will be listed if you filter by both tags, even if it has additional tags.
Tag equals — lists screenshots that have exactly the chosen tags, no more, no less. For instance, if a screenshot has only the tags "main" and "priority," it will be listed if you filter by those exact tags.
Without tags — lists only the untagged screenshots.
Implementing in your workflow
Filtering keys by screenshots is especially useful when combined with the Figma or Sketch plugin. Here’s how it might work:
You have a project in Figma with designs for multiple pages.
You upload translation keys and generate screenshots for each designed page.
In Lokalise, you assign tags to each generated screenshot, such as "main_page," "registration," "about," etc.
Open the project editor, use Filter by screenshots, and search for a specific screenshot by its tags.
Filter the keys by the chosen screenshot and perform translations.
This setup allows you to almost perform live translation editing. Each screenshot represents a single page, and each translation key is highlighted on the screenshot!
