Categorize Strings with Tags

As a content owner, you may want to categorize subsets of your content in a Project for quick and easy filtering in the future. For example, you may want to easily identify key SEO strings that are frequently audited. Smartling allows you to categorize your content using tags.

Considerations

• Tags are applied on a string-level. Meaning, when you add a tag to a string for one language, it is applied to the string for all languages.
• Tags are not case-sensitive, so searching by the upper case or lower case tags will return the same results.
• You can apply up to 250 tags per string. 
• Each tag has a character limit of 127 characters.

Tag Strings

To apply tags to strings:

1. In a project, click the Strings tab. 
2. Select the strings to which you want to add tags.
3. Click Actions and select Edit Tags. 
4. Under Add Tags, enter the tag. 
5. Click Add.

Your tag will appear as a blue arrow below the string you tagged.

Filter Tagged Content

Once tags have been applied to your strings, you can use the Tag filter to quickly locate the content in the List View. To filter on tags:

1. In a project, click the Strings tab. 
2. With the Tags filter, select the tags to search for. 

Use the Actions menu to apply different actions to a set of strings you have categorized with tags.

Remove Tags

1. In a project, click the Strings tab. 
2. Select the string from which you want to remove tags.
3. Click Actions and select Edit Tags.
