Importing and exporting translations

The Export tool allows you to export Flow for translation from your current tenant so that it can be imported into another tenant. The Import tool allows you to import completed Flow translation template into your current tenant.

The Import/Export Translations page

Export Flow for translation

To export Flow for translation:

  1. Select Translations from the main menu.

  2. In the Export Flow For Translation section, select how to export Flows from the Select how to export Flows for translation drop-down menu:

    • Export by Flow — Select one or more individual Flows to export.
    • Export by Flow label — Select one or more Flow labels to export all Flows that share those labels at once. Flow labels are set on the Flows page.

  3. Select one or more Target Languages from the drop-down menu. Languages that have previously been used for translation are sorted to the top of the list to make repeated exports easier.

  4. (Optional) Select Exclude completed translations to exclude elements that haven't had a change to the source language since the last import. Leave this cleared to export the whole translation.

  5. Click Export to XLIFF to download the translation file(s) in XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format) format.

    The system extracts all the translatable text (labels, buttons, error messages) into an .xlf file. The translator opens the .xlf file in a translation tool (CAT tool). They view the source language and type the translation into a designated target slot.

    note

    Flow downloads one .xlf file per language selected, in line with the XLIFF standard that requires one file per language.

Import translations

Use this option to plug the translated text back into the software.

To import a translation:

  1. On the Import Translations section, either:

    • Drag and drop the .xlf file onto the Import Translations field.
    • Click the Import Translations field, browse to the file and click Open.

  2. The Confirm Import dialog is displayed informing you of which tenant you are importing the translations into.

    • Click Confirm to import the file into the tenant.
    • Click Cancel to stop the import process and return to the Import Translations page.
