HI Vlada, Thank you for the feedback. Very good points there. I forwarded it to our team and we'll analyze in detail, since some of them discuss navigational issues which we want to improve too. Here are some answers on the most obvious points of yours:
On the issues of Clicking More Details and Switching to the next untranslated resource: These are already fixed in a branch which we are testing and will most likely be merged next week. Agreed on showing more tooltips in the editor. Concerning the default dashboard, new users choose their role and default to the right one, your account was older so it defaults to the manager one. Let us know if you'd like us to switch you to a default translator role. -d On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 6:00 AM, Vlada Macek <tut...@sandbox.cz> wrote: > On 29.4.2013 18:00, Dimitris Glezos wrote: > > On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 5:06 AM, Vladimir Macek <ma...@sandbox.cz> > wrote: > >> BTW, the new Transifex online editor, while certainly designed with high > >> expectations, has terrible UX for me.
