Hi, I have a Studio project consisting of several hundred small files located in folders and subfolders. Is there any way I can view the contents of all these files in the form of a single file in the editor interface while translating? /Per-Ola Nilsson

Yes. In the "Files" pane on the left, near the bottom, make sure "Include subfolders" is ticked. Then, depending on where you click in the pane on the left, you should be able to see all files in the pane on the right. Select them all, right-click, and select "Open for translation".

Note that you have to close that multi-file view again if you want to open any of the files individually.

Yes, it’s possible! Oct 21, 2019

It’s quite easy. Select “include subfolders” in files view. With Ctrl key, select all the files you want to open, and right click to open.
