You can copy the source string by using the [icon in the translation area](https://docs.transifex.com/translation/tools-in-the-editor#shortcut-buttons) or using a keyboard shortcut.  
To copy the source strings en masse, you can download the source file and [upload it as translations](https://docs.transifex.com/translation/importing-translations).
