When exporting element texts to Excel, all texts of all languages are written into one file. On the one hand, this file can be used for translating into the corresponding target languages, on the other hand, it can be used to correct spelling mistakes and content in the source language.

Dialog for exporting element texts to Excel

In the Excel file, changes may only be made in the columns de-DE, en-US etc. All other columns contain information which is required for the correct reimport of the content.

Example for an Excel file

The export of the element texts as an Xliff file always generates a bilingual file, which consists of source language (login language) and the selected target language. Xliff files are only for translation, i.e. entries may only be made in the target language. Xliff files are e.g. suitable for forwarding to a translation service.

When importing the finished files, please note that only the changes of the elements, which have not been changed since the time of the file export, are transferred to TiCon. If elements have been changed in the meantime, these elements have to be exported again. A corresponding message is displayed during import.

After clicking "Import / Element texts", a selection dialog opens. Here you have to choose the file format first.

File selection

If it is an Xliff file, the source and target language are recognized automatically. If it is an Excel file, the target language in which the changes are to be transferred has to be selected.
