Migration from Another Theme
- Navigate to the Migration tool either from the app dashboard or sidebar menu:
- On the Migration page, select the Migration from Another Theme option. Then, select the theme for the Migrate Translation From Theme and Migrate Translation To Theme.

Migration from Another Store
To migrate translations from one store to another, you'll need to export the translation file from the original store and upload it to the destination store. For a detailed guide on exporting translations, please refer to this guide.
Note
It is only possible to migrate from one store to another if both stores have the same default language.
- Obtain the exported file from the original store. Then, in the destination store, navigate to the Migration tool from either the app dashboard or the sidebar menu.
- Select the Migration from another store tab and upload the exported file.
- After uploading, the app will preview the file. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Start Translation Migration to proceed.
- The migration task will start, and when it is finished, the translations data will be ready to use on the destination store.
Migration from Another App
To migrate translations from another app to our platform, you will need to export the translation file from the other app. Currently, we support migrations from the following apps:
- Weglot
Langify
Each of these apps requires a slightly different process. To get started, please follow the steps below:
- Navigate to the Migration tool either from the app dashboard or sidebar menu:
- Select the Migration from another app tab, choose the source app, and then upload the exported file.
Weglot: The export file must contain language information for the translations. We will automatically extract the translation details from this file.
Langify: The export file may not always include language information. In this case, you will need to manually select the translation language during the upload process.
- After uploading, the app will preview the file. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Start Translation Migration to proceed.
- Then the Migration task will begin, and you’ll be redirected to the View Task page. Once the task is finished, click the Details button to review the migration results.
