== Usage == <!--T:1-->

<!--T:2-->
SALT ('''S'''ame '''A'''s '''L'''ast '''T'''ime) helps with the translation of recurring segments in [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News</tvar>|Tech/News]]. When you enter <tvar name=code>{{tls|SALT}}</tvar> as text when translating Tech/News the template will attempt to find a previous translation of the same section. This is less trouble than copy-pasting from previous issues because [[<tvar name=2>phab:T101236</tvar>|translation memory is permanently broken]]. Actually you may find it easier than using translation memory even when the translation memory DOES work!

==Suggestion for use while translating Tech News== <!--T:3-->

<!--T:4-->
If you are using a keyboard, put <tvar name=code><code><nowiki>{{subst:SALT}}</nowiki></code></tvar> in your clipboard and press <code>ctrl+V ctrl+enter</code> for recurring sections and ctrl+enter for non-recurring sections. When you reach the end, go back up and translate the non-recurring sections like you normally would.

==Known issues== <!--T:6-->

<!--T:7-->
Some gadget or other functionality should be made to insert <tvar name=code>{{tls|SALT}}</tvar> with a single button.

Known limitations:
</translate>
* <translate><!--T:9--> Funny things might happen in the first week of a leap year? #care</translate>
* <translate><!--T:10--> The people who create Tech News have to be consistent in their use of translation unit numbers (like <tvar name=code><code>&lt;!--T:4--&gt;</code></tvar>) or all hell would break loose when looking up a section with identical translation unit number in previous issues, the primary lookup method no longer relies on this though.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:11--> Your translation edit summaries won't be overly helpful. On the other hand, free advertising for this template!</translate>
