Edit translations in the CSV file
Mind the following:
- Edit only values in the
translationcolumn. - Only a comma (
,) or a semicolon (;) can be used as a separator. Attention: If you use Pages by Apple Inc. to edit your file, it may sometimes add extra semicolons to the first row, potentially affecting file upload. - For multi-word translations containing spaces, use quotes (
"My new translation"). - If there is no
originalDefaultTranslation, then the custom translation is always ignored. - If the
languageDefaultTranslationand the custom translation are the same, then the custom translation is ignored. - In other cases, the custom translation is updated.
