Tags

New in version 2.5.1.

Pootle supports tags that can be used as a way to group and filter related items.

Note

Currently tags are only available for translation projects and individual files. We expect this to expand in future versions.

Managing tags

Tags are hidden by default, and can be shown by clicking on the icon tag icon tag icon near the top of the page (in pages that allow showing the tags like project overview, translation project overview, and so on). Clicking on it icon tag icon again will hide the tags.

When tags are shown, the icon tag add icon add tag icon will be displayed (for users who have enough permissions to add tags). Clicking on the icon will allow you to add a new tag to the item. If the tag does not exist then one will be created and applied to the current item.

Note

Tag names are case insensitive (they will be automatically converted to lowercase).

Warning

Tags must be composed of only letters and numbers, and can have spaces, colons, hyphens, underscores, slashes or periods in the middle, but not at start or at the end.

Hovering over any of the tags with the mouse will show the “x” icon that can be clicked to remove the tag.

Filtering tags

On the project overview page, translation projects can be filtered based on their tags. Clicking on the icon filter icon filter icon (near the top of the page), will activate tag filtering. Use the tag filtering area to filter the list of translation projects. Clicking on the icon filter icon icon again will hide the filtering widget and reset the filters.
