Importing Translations into a Translation Collection

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

You can import XLFF translations into Translation Collections from the Strings and Import Jobs subtab on the Manage Translations page.

You can only import XLIFF files that follow the XLIFF v1.2 standard into a Translation Collection.

When you're importing translations, you can select and import multiple files at the same time.

Make sure your file meets these requirements to import successfully.

The file must:

• Be UTF-8 encoded.

• Have a target language specified in the XML file header.

• Have a source language, different to the target language, specified in the XML file header.

• have a valid string

• contain at least one source string and its translation.

Important:

You can't create a new Translation Collection by importing translations into an account with no collections. You can only import translations into an existing Translation Collection that you've already created.

For more information about creating Translation collections, see Managing Translation Collections.

To import translations into a Translation Collection:

1. Go to Customization > Translations > Manage Translations.

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

3. Choose one or more files to import by doing one of the following:

   • Click Choose a file, then browse and select on or more files from your computer.

   • Or, drag and drop the files from your computer onto the Import Strings dialog.

   Note:

   If you hover over the number of files to be imported, you'll see a list of their names.

4. Click Import.

When you import translations into a Translation Collection, you may see these results:

• Some files might not import, and you'll see a message showing how many were imported and which ones failed.

• If all the files import successfully, the import dialog closes automatically.

• If all files import but some translation strings have issues, you'll see the number of problematic strings next to the file name in the Warnings column on the Import Jobs subtab. Click the number in the Warnings column to see more details in a popup.
