Translating TeamLab to Other Languages

Introduction

At present TeamLab is available in 15 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Latvian, Portuguese, Turkish, Greek, Polish, Czech, simplified Chinese, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
It is all thanks to our volunteer translators who made it possible for many people to create and use
our portal in their mother tongues.

Step 3. Log in into the TOT System

TOT System was specially developed for translating TeamLab portals. It represents a kind of a portal with restricted access – only the guests with appropriate rights can log in into the system and perform some actions within it.

To start translating you don’t need to install any additional software, just go to the http://translate.teamlab.com/ site and use the credentials provided in the Your Name - TeamLab Online Translation System Credentials.ods document to access the system.

Note: the supported browsers are: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8 or higher, Mozilla Firefox version 4 or higher, Google Chrome version 11 or higher, Apple Safari version 4 or higher or Opera version 11 or higher.

Step 4. Access your test portal

To be able to check the result of your translation you need to activate your account on the test portal. The link to your test portal is provided in the Your Name - TeamLab Online Translation System Credentials.ods document.

Note: this link is valid for 3 days only. Please complete the account activation within that period. If your link is expired, please contact our staff once again using the documentation@teamlab.com email.

Once the account is activated you can check the result. It will be available immediately after you translate and save anything in the TOT System. Use the portal link below the translation field inside the system to go directly to the portal page where the translated word/phrase is situated. If the link is not available you can try to find the necessary word/phrase in the module corresponding to the one you are translating in the system.

Note: please do NOT change the test portal language in the Settings or Customization sections even if the language name is different from the one you translate to (this is done on purpose). If you have changed it by mistake, please contact our staff at documentation@teamlab.com.
