Custom filter criteria

BabelEdit can filter your translations using different criteria.

Filter translations

You can filter by

  • translation ID
  • translation text
  • translated / untranslated
  • approved flag
  • used / not used in source code (requires configured Source Code View)

BabelEdit displays all translations matching your criteria. The display switches to list view while the filter is active.

The shortcut for the filter is CTRL++D (Windows) or ++D (macOS).
