# Checking translations
As a Proofreader, you will have to check the translated strings thoroughly and in the context of the project.
Overtime, various projects and products adapt their own terminology, which Proofreader may understand as words of different meaning.
BabelShark has several functions to help Proofreaders **understand** what they're translating, into what context.
### Context hints
On the bottom left-side of the string, there is a context hint that helps better understand the context of your translation.
If there's no context hint:
1. Copy the **String ID** (You can use this for searching strings as well)
2. Paste it to your Project Manager (The person which invited you to project, or any relevant team member)
3. Wait for Project Manager to provide context on your string
### Drawer menus
Every string includes a **Drawer arrow icon** on the right-side, once clicked, it provides more information on the string:
* When it was added
* Last use of the string
* Original language
* URL of the page (Where it's located)
* Original string
Overtime, more helpful functions will be added for Proofreaders to better understand concept of every translation string.
