How to import translations from a file?
There are various ways to import translations from a file.
In the menu of the "Start to translate" card, you can find an "IMPORT FILE" entry.
You will find the IMP (import) button next to the EXP (export) button.
Be sure to click the "save" button.
What does "Keep segments not imported" mean?
Disabling that option, means that if the importing file does not include a key, that is already present in your project, it will delete it in locize.
To import a file for a dedicated language, be sure to select the appropriate language and namespace in the filter
To import an "all" format file (like csv or xlsx) for the whole project, be sure to not select any language or namespace in the filter
The "all" format at least includes also a namespace column, so this is a good format to export/import translations of multiple namespaces.
Make sure the namespace exists before importing this format.
Also in the focus view you will find the IMP (import) button next to the EXP (export) button. Useful when importing additional translations in an existing namespace.
Be sure to click the "save" button.
