Learn how to easily export your translation Grid to your computer, then import it back to Gridly with all your updates in place.

Note: To use the Localization Export and Import feature, you’ll first need to set up localization columns and dependencies in your Grid.

Localization Export:

Gridly’s Localization Export feature supports exports in XLSX format. The exported Grid will contain at least 4 columns:

• Old source language
• Source language
• Target language(s)
• Target status (unset, up-to-date, out-of-date)

To configure the Localization Export settings:

1. Open a Grid,  then click on the toolbar.
2. Select Localization export from the dropdown list.
3. In the Export Localization pop-up window, enter the following information:
   • Source language: Select only one source language to export if you have multiple target languages.
   • Select target language to export: Select the target language column to export, or click the check box to export all target languages.
   • Other settings (optional): Customize your export files by checking the boxes.
   • Highlight source changed: Check if you want to highlight the changes in the source language.
   • Include up-to-date record: Check if you want to include records that are marked as updated with Dependencies.
   • Export to the same sheet: Check if you want to export multiple target language columns to the same sheet, and uncheck if you want to keep them separate in different spreadsheets.
   • Select other columns (optional): Click the checkbox before each column name to select the additional columns for export.
   • Click Export.

Localization Import:

1. Open a Grid, then click   on the toolbar.
2. Select Localization import from the dropdown list. 
3. Drag and drop, or click to browse for your file.

Note: Gridly can only import XLSX files which have been previously exported by the Localization Export feature.
