Unicode Character Picker for Crowdin Editor

The Unicode Character Picker seamlessly integrates with the Crowdin Editor, offering translators an efficient way to access and insert special characters that are not readily available on standard keyboards. This tool enhances the translation workflow by simplifying the process of adding uncommon symbols directly into translation segments.

What the App Is For:

This app is designed to assist translators in:

• Accessing Hard-to-Type Characters: Provides a library of useful characters such as long hyphens, special quotations, brackets, braces, currency symbols, and mathematical operators.
• Improving Translation Quality: Ensures that translations include the correct special characters, maintaining the integrity and professionalism of the text.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Accelerates the translation process by reducing the time spent searching for and inserting special characters.

How It Works:

1. Integration with Crowdin Editor: The app appears within the Crowdin Editor interface, adapting to the user's theme preferences (light or dark) for a seamless experience.
2. Character Selection: Users can browse through a categorized list of special characters or use the search function to find a specific symbol by name or Unicode value.
3. Easy Insertion: Clicking on a character inserts it directly into the translation at the cursor's position.
4. Favorites Management: Users can add frequently used characters to a favorites list for quick access.
5. Custom Characters: The app allows adding custom characters by entering the character code or symbol and assigning it a name.
6. Data Persistence: Favorites are stored directly in the linguist's browser. This is useful if a linguist has multiple accounts between crowdin.com and Crowdin Enterprise, but may not be as convenient if a linguist uses multiple browsers. favourites should be configured in each browser.
7. Theme Adaptation: Automatically aligns with the Crowdin Editor's light or dark theme for visual consistency.
