We’ve completely redesigned how WebTranslateIt handles translation validation errors. Instead of a simple error message, you now get a rich, interactive modal that shows you exactly what’s wrong — and can fix it for you.
See Exactly What’s Wrong
When you save a translation that has issues, a new validation modal appears with two key elements:
- A color-coded text preview showing your translation with problematic sections highlighted. Each issue gets its own color, so you can instantly see where the problems are.
- A list of specific issues with colored indicators matching the highlights in the text.
The highlights are interactive: hover over an issue in the list to see the corresponding text light up in the preview, or hover over a highlighted section to see which issue it refers to. No more guessing which error applies to which part of your translation.
AutoCorrect: Fix Errors Instantly
The biggest addition is AutoCorrect. When errors are detected, you now have three options right in the modal:
- Ignore (⌘I) — Save the translation as-is if you’re sure it’s correct despite the warnings.
- Correct Manually (Esc) — Go back to the editor to fix things yourself.
- AutoCorrect (Enter) — Let WebTranslateIt fix all issues automatically.
AutoCorrect works in two stages. First, it applies deterministic corrections for straightforward issues — a missing ellipsis, incorrect variable placeholders, mismatched spaces. Then, for issues that need contextual understanding, it uses AI (via the AI translation engine configured in your toolbar) to make intelligent corrections while preserving your translation’s meaning.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Speed
Every action in the validation modal has a keyboard shortcut, so you never need to reach for the mouse. Press Enter to autocorrect, Esc to go back and edit, or ⌘I to ignore and save anyway.
Getting Started
The new validation modal is available immediately for all users. AutoCorrect’s AI-powered corrections require Machine Translation to be enabled on your project — if you’re already using Gemini AI or Mistral, you’re all set.
