Use translations

Create and manage span translations beside the source text while you read.

Before you start

An open text in the reader — Open a text

Create a translation

With the primary mouse button, drag to select a span of words in one section of the text.
Wait for Lexorium to generate a translation panel for that span.
Read the translation in the panel under that section’s English (beside the source on larger screens).

Covered source tokens are highlighted after a translation exists. Each panel sits with the other panels for that section, under the section English — they are not lined up word-for-word with the span you selected.

Edit or remove a translation

On a translation panel you can:

Edit the text and Save
Delete the translation
Dismiss a pending panel when appropriate

Translations are yours alone. Other buyers of the same text do not see your panels.

Limits

Selections must stay inside a single section. Cross-section selections are ignored.
Re-uploading catalog text by Lexorium can affect older panels if section structure changes; your translations stay tied to the span you selected at creation time.
