# Ray and Crowdin

> Where the translation actually stands, and the string or term added from chat.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Crowdin and it can do the Crowdin part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs, draft the change, and post it for approval before anything is written. 32 reads run without asking. 8 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in Crowdin

Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.

- Projects, files, branches, and language progress
- Source strings, translations, and QA checks
- Glossaries, terms, tasks, comments, and issues

## What waits for your approval

Every one of these posts an approval card in the thread showing exactly what is about to happen. Nothing runs until someone clicks approve, and no setting turns that off.

- Add or edit a source string
- Add or update a glossary term
- Create or update a task
- Comment, or edit a comment

## Things Ray is never handed

These are left out during curation, so they are not something Ray could do and decides against. They are not in front of it at all.

- Delete a file, branch, directory, or glossary
- Create or delete a language or a project member
- Run raw GraphQL queries

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray how far along is the German translation?"
- "@Ray which strings are still untranslated in the French build?"
- "@Ray add our product terms to the glossary so they stay untranslated."
- "@Ray are there open translation issues on the onboarding file?"

## Connecting Crowdin

Every person on the team connects their own Crowdin account on Crowdin's own login screen, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in Crowdin shows who actually asked. Passwords never pass through Ray. Disconnecting Crowdin or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
