    We provide filter capabilities, allowing you to locate required language strings with ease.

  7. 7. Enter the language string to search for

    You are able to search using a number of approaches.

    If you know the entire language string, you can search using "Is equal to", which is likely to give you a smaller number of returned options.

    However, if you only know part of the string, you are able to search using "Contains", which displays any language string where your search term is present.
