Everything is reachable from two places: the sidebar on the left and the bar across the top. Here is what each part does, and where to go for what.
The Tranzio window has three parts, and once you know them you can find anything: the sidebar on the left (every screen in the app lives there), the top bar (where you are, plus search and notifications), and the content area in the middle, which changes with each screen. This page walks through all three.
Sidebar: every screen in the app lives here, in three groups.
The left sidebar
The sidebar is the app's main menu. It's grouped into three sections, top to bottom. Click any icon to open that screen, or hover to see its name. If you want more room, collapse the sidebar to icons only with the button at the very bottom, or press Ctrl + B. Everything keeps working the same; you just see icons instead of labels.
- Main
Your everyday screens: Home (the storefront where you find translations), Games (your own library), Adaptations (everything you've made or installed), Downloads (active installs), and Add game (the starting point for building a translation).
- Workspace
The translator's toolbox for one specific game: Translate, Audio, Fonts, Studio, Build, and that game's settings. These stay dimmed until you pick a game to work on, because until then there's nothing to translate.
- Account
Everything about you and the app: Notifications, Messages, Support, this Documentation, Tools, Subscription, and Settings.
Labels showing
Same rows, same order, more room for the page you are reading. Hover any icon to see its name come back.
CtrlB to toggleIf the Workspace items look grayed out, that's normal. They wake up the moment you select a game from your Games list or add a new one. It's Tranzio's way of saying "pick a game first."
The top bar
The top bar stays with you on every screen. It answers three questions: where am I, how do I find something, and did anything happen while I was away?
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| Breadcrumb | Shows where you are right now. The first word is the section, the rest is the current page. Handy when you've followed a few links deep and want to orient yourself. |
| Search | One box that finds games, languages, people, and app screens from anywhere. Press Ctrl + F to jump into it without touching the mouse. It has its own page in this help center. |
| Notifications bell | A red count means something new: a finished download, a reply, a review, or an update for a translation you installed. Click for a quick preview, or open the full Notifications page. |

"Where do I go to…?"
A quick orientation table for the most common intentions:
| I want to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| Find a translation for a game I own | Home, then browse or search |
| See the games I've added or installed | Games, in the Main section |
| Check on a download | Downloads, or the notifications bell |
| Start translating a game myself | Add game, then the Workspace screens |
| Talk to a translation team | Messages, or the team's profile |
| Change app behavior or my account | Settings, at the bottom of the sidebar |
| Get unstuck | Documentation (you're here) or Support |
