Translating HTML

Working with HTML Entities

Usually, in HTML files, texts enclosed in < and > entities don't require translation and are treated by Crowdin as HTML tags. Depending on the HTML tags displaying option selected in the Editor settings, they might be displayed in a simplified version (e.g., <0>) in the Editor for translators' convenience and copied into the translation. Although, occasionally, texts enclosed in < and > entities might require translation. In this case, as a possible way to proceed, you can replace < and > entities with the respective entity numbers (< for < and > for >) and update the source HTML files. As a result, translators will be able to see and translate the enclosed texts.
