Export a Language Pack

To ease large translations, translation reviews, and translations completed by an external vendor, you can export a Language Pack to a tab-delimited (.tsv) file.

Vendors can either import the .tsv file into their translation tool or convert the file to a format supported by their translation tool.

Tokens and Rich Text strings are included in the exported file but should always be translated in the Language Pack Editor. For more information, see Translating Plain Text Associated with Tokens and Translating Rich Text Strings.

To export a Language Pack:

1. In the CSM Administrator main window, select the Globalization category, and then select Manage Language Packs.
2. Select a Language Pack bundle, and then click Export.
   The Export Language Pack dialog opens.
