Changes on existing strings in the reference language
Hi there,
Great platform! I have a quick question regarding a functionality that I cannot seem to find. If I modify a string in the reference language, and that string had had a translation done in other languages prior to the modification, there is no flag showing that the other languages should be updated after the modification. Please let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks!

We’ve added another option to mark strings as fuzzy in other languages when a string in the Default Reference Language is changed.
The option is available in the settings of any project which has a DRL set. You can see it if you click on Edit Project Details, and it applies to both to the case when a user edits a translation in the language page of the DRL, as well as when a user edits the DRL string in the Terms page.

You can keep track of the strings changed in the Default Reference Language in 3 ways:
1. Updating the DRL using the Import functionality
The steps are described here: https://poeditor.com/kb/updating-translations-for-labels-based-projects
2. Updating strings in the DRL individually in View or Add Terms
Go to View or Add Terms, search for the changed strings and then click on the corresponding label, as if you would edit it, then press Save. Don't change the label, but leave the box under it that says "Set all translations as fuzzy" checked. This will put a fuzzy flag on the translations in all the languages.
3. Updating the DRL using the API
You can use the Fuzzy flag with the API as well, by setting the fuzzy_trigger to 1, as stated here: https://poeditor.com/api_reference/#upload
