The automated import and export feature enables you to establish a seamless content exchange process between your Lokalise project and a selected third-party application. This eliminates the need for manual intervention to initiate imports or exports, as the operation will be executed automatically on your behalf.

Currently this feature is available for the following apps:

To get started, proceed to Lokalise, open your translation project, click Apps and find the app that you'd like to enable this feature for. Then in the top menu click on a cog icon (Automated settings):

Automated import

Automated import can be turned on or off under the Import tab:

  • Import languages — choose one or more the languages you would like to include in the automated import process.

  • Overwrite updated translations — update already existing keys that were linked to items on the third-service with new values.

  • Skip key creation for empty translations — when checked, Lokalise will not create a translation key for translation items that are empty on the chosen third-party service.

  • Import references — import all references from the third-party service.

  • Tags — choose tags that you would like to assign to the imported items.

  • Frequency — choose how often the import process should be performed.

  • Content type — choose a saved filter with items that you would like to import.

Automated export

Automated export can be turned on or off under the Export tab:

  • Export languages — choose one or more the languages you would like to include in the automated export process.

  • Don't export empty translations — ignore empty translation items and do not export them from the third-party service.

  • Export references — export all references to the third-party service.

  • Frequency — choose how often the export process should be performed.

  • Content type — choose a saved filter with items that you would like to export.

  • Translation filter — choose which translation keys should be exported from Lokalise. You can choose to export only reviewed and/or only verified keys. Please note that the automation will only export keys where all the translations (for each language) are verified and/or reviewed. If any translation within a key is not verified/reviewed, the entire key will be excluded from the export.

Once you have scheduled import or export, the UI will be updated in the following way:
