Export/Import Strings

You can use the Export/Import Strings form to manage SQL string translations for form components in bulk, within the site default scope. Using the Export/Import Strings form skips the process of opening individual form designers to view and update translations.

Importing strings

Using the Export/Import Strings form, you can bulk-load translated strings into Mongoose for a selected target language, without needing to update the translation individually in each form.

  1. Select Import.
  2. Select the target language from the Target drop-down list.
  3. Click Browse.
  4. In the Import File Name dialog box, click Select File to locate and select the file containing the translated strings. You can also drag and drop the file in the dialog box.
  5. Click Upload.
  6. Optionally, select the Continue On Error option to save entries that pass the validation and skip any invalid or incomplete entries.
  7. Click Import.

Exporting strings

Using the Export/Import Strings form, you can view and extract SQL string translations used in form components in bulk. Using the Export option, you can easily review existing translations or prepare strings for translation outside the system.
Note: Export mode is selected by default when you open the Export/Import Strings form.
  1. Select Export.
  2. Optionally, select a target language from Target drop-down list.
  3. Select how strings are included in the export, select one of these options:
    • Include all - select this option to retrieve both translated and untranslated strings.
    • Include only untranslated - select this option to retrieve strings that do not have translations for the selected target language.
  4. Click Preview.
    Note: If a Target language is selected, the preview displays strings based on whether all stings or only untranslated strings are requested. If no Target language is selected, the preview displays all available language translation strings, filtered according to the selected inclusion option.
  5. Click Export.
