This is the first thing you want to look at when you start translating something. This is where everything lives. You can see which words have been translated and which ones haven't. It's also where you can translate individual words/phrases (unlike with a string override). 

For example, if you have a word like "book", this can mean "reserve" or an actual "book" (like "textbook"). For this case, you would want to go to each section and translate the word "book" individually depending on the context.

How to use Translate interface

You can get to the Translate Interface page by typing "Translate interface" into the search box on the upper right-hand corner of your window:

Or by going to Configuration (on the black menu bar at the top) --> Regional and language --> Translate interface:

The "Translate interface" page looks like this. Click on "Translate": 

You will jump to this page. The box under "String contains" is where you search for the word. Note that it says the search is case sensitive. This means that if you are looking for the word "lesson" on a certain page and you can't find it, you might have to look for "Lesson" or "LESSON". If you look on the bottom half of the image below, you will see the first four search hits.

If you look at the "Language" part of the page, you will see that some say "ja" (or the code for the language you will be translating it to) and some say "ja". 

• Ja = there already is a translation in this language
• Ja = there's no translation in this language 

It helps to have two different browsers open at the same time (e.g. Firefox and Chrome) so that you can use one browser to log in from a student account (since we are only translating for students) and another to log in from your usual admin account.
