# Strings to Task

> Create tasks from selected strings in the Crowdin Editor

Identifier: strings-to-task
Category: Other
Type: App
Author: Awesome Crowdin

Create translation and proofreading tasks directly within the Crowdin Editor.

### Why this app exists

The native "Create Task" feature in Crowdin requires you to select entire files or filter content by labels. Previously, if you wanted to translate a specific subset of strings, you had to:
1.  Find the strings.
2.  Tag them with a temporary label.
3.  Go to the Tasks tab and filter by that label.

**This app removes the need for labels.** You can filter or manually select strings while working in the Editor and create a task for them immediately.

### Features

* **Direct Selection:** Create tasks for specific strings using Editor filters or manual selection (checkboxes).
* **Assignee Suggestions:** Automatically suggests linguists who handled previous tasks for the selected language.
* **Standard Task Options:** Includes all native features: set deadlines, split work by word count etc.
* **Follow-up Tasks:** Configure automatic follow-up tasks (auto-proofreading task once Translation is complete).
