Using .CSV Files For Translation

Once translations have been applied, converting one language to another is made easier with the ability to use .CSV files. Translated phrases (those appearing in the bottom list) may be exported to a two-column .CSV format, which allows you to simply change a translation to another language using a spreadsheet program such as Excel. This way, you can avoid having to click the Edit button for each translated phrase.

To Export Translated Phrases to .CSV Format

  1. Ensure the desired phrases to translate already have some sort of translation applied to them (so that they appear in the bottom list).

  2. Click the Export button, and choose a file name for the .CSV file.

To Edit an Exported .CSV Translation File

  1. In a program capable of working with the CSV format (such as Microsoft Excel or Notepad), open the .CSV file.

  2. Leave the first column (English Phrases) alone, but change the second column (Translated phrases) to the desired language.

  3. Save the .CSV file without changing its format.

To Import a .CSV Translation File

  1. In the Language Translation Interface, click the Import button.

  2. Choose the file to import and click OK. The new phrases will load into the translated phrases section of the window.
