No more waiting until the next version of iD to see how things look. Simply visit <a href="http://preview.ideditor.com/master/" class="">http://preview.ideditor.com/master/</a> - which is updated every 10 minutes with the latest strings from Transifex.<br class=""><br class="">* We’ve made big changes to the iD walkthrough to make it more friendly and also teach better editing practices. There is a lot of new content to translate, but these changes will be immediately helpful to the thousands of new users each day that make their first OpenStreetMap edits.<br class=""><br class="">* The walkthrough itself is more open-ended, with dedicated steps that let the user play and explore the town at their own pace. To support this, we’ve made the whole town localizable - streets, businesses, place names - adding about 120 new strings to the core resource under the `intro.graph.name.*` keys. While the source strings do correspond to actual places in Three Rivers Michigan, the names of these features in the walkthrough do not need to be translated literally - it’s OK to make up reasonable sounding names in your local languages.<br class=""><br class="">As before, thank you for your help! I appreciate all of the hard work done by our fantastic volunteer teams of translators to make editing in iD simple and fun for everybody worldwide.<br class=""><br class="">Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, and thanks again!<br class=""><br class="">Bryan</div></div></body></html>
