We released an update to the translation validator so that it now inspects and detects eventual problems in the HTML code in the translations.

If some HTML code of a translation is missing or differs from the HTML code of the source text a warning message will be displayed. This will help increase the quality of the translator’s translations.

Here’s an example of when a translation’s HTML tag is missing or is completely different:

And when a translation HTML code is not properly balanced.

We also added new validation code to check the number of line breaks is identical in the source and target text:

As usual, validation warning messages are just warnings. You can always click on “Skip Validation” to save your translation anyway.

We hope you will find these improvements useful. Thank you for using WebTranslateIt.

WebTranslateIt’s owner Edouard has been into cycling for a few years now, from the long and flat roads of the French Atlantic coast up through the wilderness of Connemara and down to the Andalusian mountains of Málaga.

It just seemed natural that if we ever were to sponsor any sport event, it would be bike related. And after a few interesting encounters, we were given the opportunity to sponsor not only an event, but a team.

There are many cycling clubs in Andalusia, for its climate allows the sport all year round —just be an early riser in the Summer!— and we decided to help a new club start out. Málaga Bikes was created in June 2017 by Bruno Cuesta and counts 8 members such as Victor Cardenas and Alejandro Paez, Andalusian mountain bike and road bike rising stars.

If you want to know more about their exploits, don’t hesitate to follow them on Strava. We are really proud of our guys!
