# Import Translations Into a Project

Do the following to import existing translations using a .csv file into a Designer project.

1. Before importing, ensure the following is true:

- You have a comma-delimited file (.csv file) that follows this format:
  - First Row
    - Tag Name
    - Default String
    - Translation
  - Each succeeding row contains the values of the headings in the first row, for each tag. For example,
    - Tag name, such as Greeting
    - Default String, such as Hello!
    - Translation, such as Hola!

  For example:

  Tag Name | Default String | Translation
  Greeting | Hello! | Hola!
  FirstNumber | One | Uno
  SecondNumber | Two | Dos
  ThirdNumber | Three | Tres

- Your Designer Project is not in Test Mode.

2. Import translation languages by doing the following:
   1. Open a project if you haven't already.
   2. Project Localization
   3. Click the Import translations icon on the Localization Pane Toolbar.
   4. Select the .csv file that contain the translations you want to import and click Open.
   Note: Consider the following when importing translations.
   - If an imported language doesn't exist in the project, then the imported language will be created using the filename of the imported .csv file.

   - If an imported tag already exists in the project and its default string conflicts with the existing project default string for that localization tag, the user will be prompted regarding whether to overwrite during the import process.

   - If an imported tag doesn't exist in the project, it will be automatically created.

   - If the imported language already exists in the project, the user will be prompted to confirm overwrite or cancel of the import process.

     Multiple translation languages can be imported at one time by selecting multiple .csv files.
