# Project modes ## Project modes Project can work in different modes. The mode determines the following behavior aspects: * project accepts and saves new source strings, * projects translate strings, * web page/app screen is allowed to display the translation, * translation approval is required to display the translation. ### Collect, no translate The project is in the stage of gathering all the content that needs to be translated, but no actual translation is being done at this stage. ### Translate, no display In this mode mode, the content is being collected and translated, but the translated version is not being displayed to the public. ### Display approved only New translations are being done but only approved translations are displayed to your users. ### Translate all live All content is being translated and immediately displayed to the users as soon as it is translated. ### Display approved, do not translate In this mode, no new translations are being made, and only the approved translations are being displayed to the users. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
