When Rules Don't Work

Create translation first

Why rules not work:

No translation yet: Click "Translate" first
You edited the translation: Translate again to use your rule
Different meaning: The app can't find the right word to change

If your Glossary rule not work, please kindly re-translate to get the rule applied

Things to Remember

No copies: Can't make the same rule twice
Special symbols: Doesn't work with ' ! # yet (we're fixing this)
Delete language: Removing a language removes its rules too
