File Management

You can manage all the project’s files via Content > Files. Here you can manually upload files for localization using various supported formats. When the files are uploaded, you’ll be able to take a glance at how many Strings your files include and how many Revisions (changes) were done to each of them.

If you want to configure an automatic files’ synchronization with your project, use the Applications tab.

Dateien priorisieren

You can set a specific priority for each file by clicking an arrow icon next to the needed file. Then translators will be able to see files sorted according to their priority on the language page and in the Editor.

Files might have the following priorities:

• – low
• – medium
• – high

Datei-Einstellungen

To access the configurations of specific files right-click on the necessary file or click next to it and then select Settings.

Title as it is Shown to Translators

Set more descriptive titles for the files to provide additional details for translators.

File Export

Define a file name or full path in the resulting archive, use the available placeholders to indicate the structure of exported content.

For example, you want the source file Overview.csv with Ukrainian translation to be named Overview.ukrainian.csv before integrating it with the application. In this case, you’d need to set the Resulting file after translations export to the following: Overview.%language%.csv.

During the file export, Crowdin language codes are added by default. To use custom ones for specific languages in the whole project – set up Language Mapping.

Parser Configuration

Some file formats allow you to configure import and export behavior. In this case, file’s Settings dialog will also contain the Parser configuration tab.

Read more about Parsers configuration.

File Target Languages

By default, the source files are available for translation into all target languages of the project. Clear the checkboxes next to the languages your file shouldn’t be translated into, and click Save.

Dateien umbenennen

To change the file’s name, right-click on the necessary file or click next to it and select Rename.

Fortschritt überprüfen

You can check the translation and approval progress for a branch, folder, or file you need. Right-click on the needed branch, folder or file, and select the View progress. To see how many words are translated and approved for each language hover over the progress bar. To download translations for the chosen file, select required languages in the Details tab in the right-hand side menu, and click .

Quelldateien aktualisieren

In case you have added some new strings to one of the source files, you’d want to update it to make newly added strings visible to translators. Right-click on the needed file, select Update, and then select the new file on your machine.

If some of the source strings were modified, the system shows a dialog with a list of edited strings. You’ll be able to choose which existing translations you want to keep without changes (Current strings column) and whether you want to keep or remove approvals. The translations for other changed strings will be removed.

Vorherige Versionen wiederherstellen

Jedes Mal, wenn Sie eine Quelldatei aktualisieren, wird eine neue Version erstellt. In the appeared dialog, select the revision you want to restore your file to and click Restore next to it. In the Revisions tab in the right-hand side menu, hover over the needed revision and click Restore next to it.

Branches and Folders

You can create branches and folders in the Files tab:

• – create folder
• – create branch

Folders represent your content structure, while branches help to manage different versions of the content.

Usually, branches in Crowdin Enterprise are created automatically if you use GitHub, Bitbucket, or other VCS integration. Still, if you need to create branches manually, make sure to upload the master branch first, as all the others will be considered the feature branches. Duplicates might be managed in the Project Settings by choosing the corresponding option for Duplicates.

Zeichenkettenverwaltung

You can view all the project’s strings and manage strings settings via Content > Strings.

Changing Strings Visibility

If some strings contain data that is not supposed to be translated (e.g. placeholders, other technical entities), you can hide them from translators. To do this:

1. Open your project and go to Content > Strings.
2. Select the necessary strings.
3. Click .

Filtering Strings

By default, all source strings of the project are displayed in Content > Strings. If necessary, you can filter out strings using the available filter options (Issues, Comments, Screenshots, Visibility and project labels).

String Editing

You can add context to the string and set the max. length of the translation.
Once the translation limits are exceeded, the system notifies the contributor that translation should be shorter.

Some file formats allow editing (adding, deleting, and modifying) of the source texts and string identifiers directly in Crowdin Enterprise so you can do the necessary corrections without updating the source file via Content > Files. Check the full list below:

• Android XML
• iOS Strings
• JSON
• i18next JSON
• XLIFF 1.2
• XLIFF 2.0
• Angular XLF
• GNU Gettext PO
• Unreal Engine Gettext PO
• YAML
• RESX
• CSV
• ARB
• Java Properties
• Properties Play
• Properties XML

To edit some particular word or phrase that appears in multiple source strings, you can use Find and replace in Content > Strings.

Labels

Use labels in your project for an easy way to add context to the strings or organize them by certain topics. Labels are also useful while creating translation and proofreading tasks or searching for specific strings in the Editor with the help of Advanced Filter.

Managing Project Labels

To create, edit, or remove project labels, follow these steps:

1. Open your project and go to Content > Strings.
2. Click Project labels.
3. In the appeared dialog, add new labels, edit or remove existing ones.

Adding Labels to Strings

There are a few possible ways you can add labels to the strings.

• Add labels to one string at a time via the Edit String dialog
  • Right-click on the string in the list and select Edit
  • Select needed labels in the Labels field
  • Klicken Sie auf Speichern

• Add labels to multiple strings via the Manage strings labels dialog
  • Select a few strings you want to add the same labels to
  • Click
  • Select needed labels in the Labels to be added field
  • Klicken Sie auf Speichern

• Add labels to the source strings in CSV and XLSX files using a dedicated column for labels.

  Note: String labels added to the project with an initial CSV/XLSX file upload aren't overwritten or removed during the following file updates.

Changing Scheme for CSV and XLSX Files

File formats like CSV and XLSX might require changing the initially configured scheme. Usually, it might be needed when you add a new target language to your Crowdin project.
