Export Translatable Fields

The Export Translatable Fields app adds an Export action to the Config tab of a story and writes the translatable fields to an XML or JSON file that professional translation tools such as Trados and LingoHub read. It pairs with the Import Translatable Fields app to complete a field-level translation workflow.

Features

• Export a story as XML or JSON.
• Exclude individual fields from the export.
• Hand the file to a translation tool that reads either format.

Setup

1. Install the Export Translatable Fields and Import Translatable Fields apps.
2. Define the languages of the space in its settings.
3. Write the content in the default language.
4. Select the target language in the menu bar.
5. Export the story from its Config tab.
6. Translate the file in your translation tool.
7. Import the translated file with the target language selected.

To run the same steps programmatically, use the Management API.
