## What is the General Translation platform?

The General Translation platform is a dashboard for managing translations, context, API keys, webhooks, and repository sync through Locadex.

## How do I get an API key?

Create a project, then open [API Keys](/docs/platform/api-keys) at project or organisation level. Project keys are used for a single project. Organisation keys support custom permissions for broader automation.

## Can I edit translations after they’re generated?

Yes. View and edit translations from the [Translations](/docs/platform/translations) page. Use [annotations](/docs/platform/translations/annotations) to label entries, add notes and discuss them with your team.

## What is context?

[Context groups](/docs/platform/context) hold the glossary and directives that guide AI translation. Create groups at the organisation level, assign them to projects, and set priorities when groups overlap.

## How do I share terminology across projects?

Create a context group at the organisation level with your shared glossary and directives, then assign it to multiple projects. Changes to the group apply everywhere it is assigned.

## How do I update existing translations after changing the glossary?

Use [Apply glossary](/docs/platform/context/apply-glossary) to update only files containing selected terms. For full file regeneration, use [Retranslate](/docs/platform/translations/retranslate).

## How do I sync dashboard edits back to GitHub?

Use [Locadex](/docs/locadex) to create pull requests for dashboard changes after editing, retranslating, or applying glossary updates.
