Customize your columns

Translation Grid: contains language columns

1. Select the project type: 
   • Single-step: if you’re translating from a single source language to one or multiple target language(s).
   • Multi-step: if you’re translating from an initial source language to a pivot language and then to target languages. For example: Chinese -> English -> Global languages.
   • Map the columns with the appropriate column types: Gridly will automatically map the columns for you depending on the column name. If you need to customize the data, you’ll be able to:
   • Use first row as header.
   • Manually adjust column types.
   • Allow non-unique record IDs, global unique record IDs.
   • Click Create and the Grid is now in your selected database.

Then, click Create and the Grid is now in your selected database.
