The languages available in Copywriting depend on the site you selected.

Open Copywriting

  1. Open Website in the left navigation.
  2. Choose Copywriting.
  3. Find the row with the translation name for the shared text you need.

A translation name is a fixed label used to recognise shared text. Read the labels in that column and match them with the translation name you were given. If your labels are in Dutch, the column may read TAALONAFHANKELIJKE SLEUTEL.

If you do not know the translation name, stop here and ask the person who requested the change. Do not edit rows just to find out what they control.

If you cannot see Copywriting

Check that you selected the right site. If Copywriting is still missing, ask an administrator for access to Copywriting.
