Export and import translations

Learn how to export translations to a file, edit them outside of 2c8 Apps, and import them back again. This feature is useful if you want to translate many objects at once or send the translations to an external translator.

Export translations

1. Open File.
2. Select Export -> Export Translations.
   
3. Choose what to include in the export.

   • Select or clear the options you want to use, for example whether already translated texts should be included or whether only texts without translations should be exported.

     

4. Complete the export

When is this useful?

Exporting translations is useful when you want to:

• translate many objects at once,
• work with the translations in a text editor,
• use an AI tool to translate the content,
• send the file to a translation agency or another person responsible for translating the content.

Import translations

After the translations have been edited and the file has been saved, you can import it back into 2c8 Apps.

1. Open File.

2. Select Import -> Import Translations.

   

3. Select the updated translation file.
4. complete the import.

The imported translations are automatically matched to the correct objects. Objects that previously lacked translations are now marked as translated, and the icon indicating a missing translation is removed.
