Before you can use staging, you'll need to register your account in Launchpad's production environment and then wait up to one day for your account to be copied over to staging.

Note: some features aren't automatically active on staging, including:

  • translation imports and automatic approval
  • translation exports.

If you need to try these features on staging, ask us.
