Guidelines for Translating .tsv Files

Strings files are exported in tab-delimited (.tsv) format. You must follow specific guidelines for modifying these files to successfully import translations into CSM.

Each string is exported in this format:

(untranslated text) tab (translated text) tab EOL

Add translations to the "(translated text)" portion of each string only. Do not modify other portions of the string.
If you do not use a translation tool to translate the strings file, use Microsoft Excel to help you adhere to the tab-delimited format.
The .tsv file must be encoded as UTF-8. For steps on viewing and setting the encoding, refer to your editor's documentation.
Do not modify the first line of the exported file.
Tokens are exported in this format:
$$(TOKEN NAME)$$
Do not modify text between dollar signs.
Rich Text strings are included in the exported file but should always be translated in the Language Pack Editor.
