How to use Export/Import Translation? •
The main use case for the translation export and import feature is to provide a convenient way for you to work with professional translators.
- You can export translatable text into an Excel file and share it with your translators.
- They can input the translation into Excel.
After that, you can import the same file back. The App will automatically publish the translations on your website.
By using this feature, you can simplify the translation process and ensure that your website's content is accurately translated by professional translators.
