Table View
Table View is perfect for translators. It's an spreadsheet-like view where you can filter languages and translations. It is clean and helps you focus on the translations.
There are extra information you can display in this view to help in the translation process, like key description (use it to indicate the key location with adding the link to image). Another useful tool shows you text summary with number of words and characters of translations. It will show you also which translations were added automatically with DeepL or Google Translate.
List View
List view provides detailed information about the key and side-by-side view for the translation key. There, you can edit key description, add namespace or check when it was created. List View is a great option if you need to see ** specific translation key information**. It will work perfectly also for longer texts.

SimpleLocalize now has two members, Jakub himself as a brain, heart and hands of the whole system, and the author of this post, Kinga ☺️
