What is a translation history?
The translation history is an automated audit trail that captures every iteration of your localized content. It records the "who, what, and when" of every string, allowing teams to view a chronological log of edits, status transitions, and approvals. By providing a safety net for your data, you ensure that your localization process is transparent, accountable, and resilient against accidental errors.
