Export

Once your translation is complete (or at any point during the process), you can export the translated document in several formats. Exports are available for individual documents from the editor and for entire projects from the document list.

How to export a document

Exporting from the editor

1. Open the document you want to export in the editor.
2. Click the Export dropdown button in the top toolbar.
3. Choose your desired format:
   • Target text — the translated text as a markdown file
   • Bilingual — source and target text side by side as a markdown file
   • XLIFF — an industry-standard bilingual exchange format
4. The file downloads to your computer.

Exporting a project archive

You can download an entire project as a ZIP archive from the document list:

1. Open the project and navigate to the document list.
2. Click the Export archive button.
3. A ZIP file downloads containing all documents, translation memories, and project data.

Exporting translation memory

Translation memory entries can be exported as TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) format from the project settings:

1. Open the project settings (available to project leads).
2. In the translation memory section, click the export button next to a linked TM.
3. The TM downloads as a .tmx file.

Exporting a glossary

Glossary entries can be exported as TSV (tab-separated values):

1. Navigate to the glossary management page.
2. Click the export button.
3. The glossary downloads as a .tsv file that can be opened in any spreadsheet application.
