# Step 3: Cleanup & Translation

Automatic cleanup runs when you first enter this step. Progress shows per-question.

Once complete, you'll see the review interface

**Left sidebar:** Question list — click any question to review its responses

**Main panel:** Response table with category badges

**Reviewing responses:**

For each flagged response, you have two options:

* **Keep** — Include this response in coding (mark as usable)
* **Junk** — Exclude this response from coding (mark as removed)

#### Handling non-English responses:

Non-English responses require an extra step before you can proceed:

1. The AI automatically translates each non-English response
2. You must review each translation and choose one of:\
   \- **Accept** — Translation is accurate; use it going forward\
   \- **Edit** — Modify the translation text, then save\
   \- **Reject** — Translation is unusable (you can still Keep or Junk the original)
3. After accepting/editing/rejecting the translation, you can then Keep or Junk the response

▎ Important: You cannot proceed to the next step until ALL non-English responses have a translation decision (accepted, edited, or rejected). The Continue button shows how many pending translations remain.

**Stale cleanup warning:**

If you go back to Step 2 and change mappings, the cleanup becomes "stale" (out of date). An amber banner appears:

▎ "Cleanup output is out of date. Review is available, but re-run is recommended."

Click Re-Run Cleanup to refresh results with the latest data.

**Continue button enabled when:**

* All questions have completed cleanup
* All non-English responses have a translation decision

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.metaforms.ai/open-end-cleaning-and-coding/introduction-to-oe-coding/step-3-cleanup-and-translation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
