Importing Translations into a Translation Collection

For information about the terms and concepts described in this topic, see Manage Translations Glossary.

You can import translations in the XLIFF format into Translation Collections on the Strings and Import Jobs subtab of the Manage Translations page.

Only translations in XLIFF-type files based on the XLIFF standard v1.2. can be imported into a Translation Collection.

While importing translations into the Manage Translations application, you can select multiple files and import them at the same time.

Consider the conditions below which must be met so the file could import successfully.

The file must:

• be encoded following the UTF-8 standard.

• have a target language. The target language is specified in the XML file header.

• have different source and target languages. The source language is specified in the XML file header.

• have a valid string

• contain at least one source string and its translation.

Important:

You cannot create a new Translation Collection by importing translation strings with their translations into an account without any collections. You can only import translation strings with translations into an existing Translation Collection that has been previously manually created in the account.

For more information about creating a Translation Collection, see Creating a Translation Collection.

To import translations into a Translation Collection:

1. Go to Customization > Translations > Manage Translations.

2. On either the Strings subtab or the Import Jobs subtab of the Manage Translations page, click Import Translations.

3. Specify one or more files for import by doing one of the following:

   • Click Choose a file, then browse to the files on your machine and select one or more of them.

   • Drag—and-drop the file or files from your machine on the Import Strings dialog.

     
   Note:

   If you point the cursor at the number of files to be imported, a list of their names will be displayed.

   

4. Click Import.

You can encounter the following outcomes when importing translations into a Translation Collection:

• Some files are not imported and a message is displayed showing the number of successfully imported files and listing the files that failed to import.

• All files are imported successfully and the import dialogue window closes automatically.

• All files are imported successfully, but some issues with the translation strings occurred. You can find the number of strings imported with issues next to the name of the imported file in the Warnings column in the table on the Import Jobs subtab. Click the number in the Warnings column to display a popup window with more detailed information about the issues.
