  <title>Understand Gtranslator main window</title>

  <p>Once you have opened a file to translate, the main Gtranslator window will contain the <gui>Header bar</gui> with some buttons and the main menu, the <gui>Workspace</gui> area, and the <gui>Status bar</gui> at the bottom with statistics about the current file. The <gui>Workspace</gui> is divided into three areas:</p>

<item>
<p><media type="image" mime="image/png" its:translate="no" src="./figures/color-ff8c8c.png" width="12" /> The <gui>Message Table</gui> contains two columns: The list of all the strings (messages) in the source language on the left (<gui>Original Message</gui>), and their corresponding translations on the right (<gui>Translated Message</gui>). Depending on the size of the <app>Gtranslator</app> window and the number of the words, you may only see the beginning of the string.</p>
</item> 
    
<item>
<p><media type="image" mime="image/png" its:translate="no" src="./figures/color-8ca7ff.png" width="12" /> Below the <gui>Message Table</gui> there are two fields which display the full selected string. You enter your translation in the <gui>Translated Text</gui> field. You cannot edit the <gui>Original Message</gui>.</p>
</item>  

<item>
<p><media type="image" mime="image/png" its:translate="no" src="./figures/color-8cff8e.png" width="12" /> The sidebar on the right shows similar translations from the <link xref="gtr-create-tm">Translation Memory</link> and their <link xref="gtr-shortcut-keys">keyboard shortcuts</link> to potentially insert one of the translation proposals into the <gui>Translated Text</gui> field. Below, you can see and add notes about the selected string.</p>
