Offline-Übersetzung

Project files can be downloaded for offline translation. Translators will be able to download files only if the project manager enables downloads in the Settings tab.

Downloading Files

You can download each file separately (in original or XLIFF format), download filtered strings (in XLIFF format), or download all files for a specific language (in original or XLIFF format). It could be done via the Editor or the language page.

Download a Single File via Editor

To download a single file to translate offline, follow these steps:

1. Open the necessary file in the Editor.
2. Click on the Main menu in the top left corner.
3. In the File menu, select Download or Export in XLIFF.

Download a Single File via Language Page

3. Select Download or Export in XLIFF.

Using the Download option, you will get a ZIP archive with all the project files containing translations in an original format. The Download option is useful in case you want to test the product’s localized version.

Using Export in XLIFF, you will get all the source strings and completed translations in a single XLIFF file. This way is more convenient, as it doesn’t require opening each file separately to translate. XLIFF files are supported by the majority of desktop localization tools.

Download Filtered Strings in XLIFF

There are cases when it’s necessary to download strings based on some specific criteria. For example, you might want to download strings translated by some specific project member, or only untranslated strings, or only strings with comments.

To download filtered strings, follow these steps:

1. Open the necessary file in the Editor.
2. Filter strings based on some specific criteria.
