Finding specific translations in a multilingual store can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially as your content library grows. Transcy's intelligent search system solves this challenge by providing multiple ways to locate exactly the content you need to edit, whether you're looking for a specific product description, a particular phrase, or content from a specific page.
This search functionality becomes invaluable when you're fine-tuning translations for brand consistency, updating product information, or addressing customer feedback about specific translated content. Instead of manually browsing through hundreds of translation entries, you can pinpoint exactly what needs attention.
Advanced Search Availability: The comprehensive search bar functionality is exclusively available for Growth plan subscribers and higher. This premium feature reflects the more sophisticated needs of growing businesses managing extensive multilingual content.
Plan Verification: If you don't see the search bar in your Transcy interface, your current subscription doesn't include this feature. Consider upgrading to unlock this time-saving functionality, especially if you frequently need to locate and edit specific translations.
Accessing the search function is straightforward:
Navigate to Translations: From your Transcy dashboard, click on the "Translation" menu
Access Translations Tab: Select the "Translations" tab to view your translation management interface
Locate Search Bar: Find the search bar at the top of the translations interface—this is your gateway to efficient translation management
Visual Confirmation: The search bar appears prominently in the interface for Growth plan and higher subscribers, making it immediately accessible when you need to find specific content.
Transcy's search functionality goes far beyond basic text matching:
Dual Content Display: When you search for a keyword, the system displays both the original content and its corresponding translation side by side. This parallel view helps you understand context and make more informed editing decisions.
Smart Highlighting: Your searched keyword gets highlighted in both the original and translated content, making it easy to spot exactly where the term appears and how it's been translated.
Content Context: Each search result includes information about the language and content element type (product description, page title, navigation menu, etc.), helping you quickly identify the exact piece of content you're looking for.
Comprehensive Coverage: The search scans across all your translated content, including products, collections, pages, themes, and more, ensuring nothing gets overlooked.
Page-Specific Search: One of Transcy's most powerful features allows you to input a specific URL from your store. The system then displays all translatable content from that particular page, making it incredibly easy to:
Edit all translations for a specific product page
Update content across a particular collection page
Refine translations for important landing pages
Manage seasonal or promotional page content
Targeted Results: This URL-based approach eliminates the guesswork of finding page-specific content, providing a focused list of all translatable elements from your chosen page.
Filtered Results: The search system automatically excludes results from blocked elements, ensuring you only see content that's actually translatable and relevant to your store's customer experience.
Organized Display: Results are presented in a clear, organized format that makes it easy to:
Identify the source of each translation
Understand the context of the content
Make quick editing decisions
Track your progress through multiple edits
For users without access to the advanced search bar, Transcy provides alternative navigation methods:
Resource Selection: Browse translations by selecting corresponding resource types such as:
Products: All product-related translations including titles, descriptions, and variants
Collections: Collection names, descriptions, and metadata
Pages: Static pages, blog posts, and custom content
Theme Elements: Navigation, footers, and template content
Systematic Approach: While this method requires more time than keyword search, it provides a systematic way to locate and edit translations organized by content type.
Plan Upgrade Consideration: If you frequently need to locate specific translations, the time savings from the advanced search functionality often justifies upgrading to a Growth plan or higher.
Manual Navigation Strategy: For current plans without search access:
Organize your editing sessions by content type
Keep notes of commonly edited translations
Use browser search (Ctrl+F) within specific resource pages
Consider batching similar translation edits together
Context-Aware Editing: Always review the original content alongside the translation to ensure the edited version maintains the intended meaning and tone.
Brand Consistency: Use the search function to locate all instances of specific brand terms or phrases, ensuring consistent translation across your entire store.
Customer Impact Priority: Focus your manual editing efforts on customer-facing content that directly impacts purchase decisions and user experience.
Documentation: Keep track of custom translations you've created, especially for industry-specific terminology or unique brand language.
Quality Verification: After editing, consider using Transcy's comparison features to verify your manual translations maintain quality and consistency.
Transcy's advanced search functionality transforms translation management from a time-consuming challenge into an efficient, targeted process. Whether you're refining AI translations to match your brand voice or updating content based on customer feedback, the ability to quickly locate and edit specific translations ensures your multilingual store maintains the highest quality standards.
