Exporting a Translation Collection

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

You can export translation strings in Translation Collections to send them for translation.

To export a Translation Collection as an XLIFF file:

  1. Go to Customization > Translations > Manage Translations.

  2. On the Collections subtab of the Manage Translations page:

    • Click the ellipsis ... next to the collection you want to export, then select Export from the dropdown.

    • Click the expand button next to the collection, then select Export from the menu.

  3. The Export Strings dialog shows the collection's source language.

    Source strings are company language strings with a unique key and a value. The value can be a word, phrase, or sentence used in the NetSuite UI or created manually.

    Note:

    Translation collections can only have one source language, which you can see it when you export them.

    If you want to set a custom data type for the XLIFF file header, select Customize XLIFF header datatype. Enter your value (using the XLIFF 1.2 standard) in the field. This value is used as the exported file's data type, and an x- prefix is added to show it's customized.

    See an example of the resulting customized XLIFF file header:

    Export collection datatype header example.

  4. These are the options when you export a Translation Collection:

    • If you want to export the source strings in the Translation Collection without translations, don't change any settings.

    • If you want to include translations, check the Include existing translations box. Then pick the languages you want to export in the All Languages window and click the arrow to move them to Selected Languages.

  5. Click Export Strings.

  6. In the new window, choose Open or Save, then click OK.

The saved file has an XLIFF file with the source strings. If you included translations, you'll get separate XLIFF files for each language combination. If some strings don't have translations in a selected language, they'll still be exported, but their translations in the XLIFF files will be empty.

Note:

The exported file name matches the name of the collection.
