Screenshots
A screenshot attached to a key shows where a string appears in your UI. Vision-capable AI models use it as context, which markedly improves ambiguous strings.
Attaching a screenshot
Attach an image to a key from its detail panel in the Editor, or manage images across keys in the Screenshots panel.
How the AI uses them
During translation, a key’s screenshot is sent only to vision-capable models:
- Supported: Anthropic, OpenAI (gpt-4o-class), AWS Bedrock (Nova, Claude).
- Not supported: AWS Bedrock Meta Llama text models — those runs proceed text-only and print a warning noting how many screenshots were skipped.
So screenshots are always safe to attach: models that can’t see them simply ignore them. See AI Providers for the full support matrix.
Info: Screenshots never appear in the AI log — the AI Log records what was sent to a provider, but not the image bytes themselves — only that a key had a screenshot.
