Allow import XLS and CSV #2243

Open webard opened 4 weeks ago

webard commented 4 weeks ago

Hello,

option to import XLS and CSV files with multiple languages at time will be very useful. In many cases translators uses Excel to translate repeatable translations, e.g. product names like:

It is much easier to complete hundreds such translations in Excel than in the platform, and now to upload such a file, transformation to JSON is required.

The problem of XLS and CSVs are that the structure is unclear. Can you share some example of standard XLS we should support?

Thanks for reporting anyway!

webard commented 4 weeks ago

Structure of CSV can be forced to use e.g. ";" as delimiter, or can be set before import. First column contains key, next columns contains translations. First row contains information about languages.

Here are samples: excel.xlsx csv.csv

OK! thanks, this looks doable. :)

webard commented 4 weeks ago

It would be perfect if the upload supoort adding multiple languages at once.

Thank you! :)

Importing multiple languages at once via xls/csv would be great feature. You could f.e. send google doc link to independent translators -> download xls/csv -> import filled doc. By doing so you minimize translators needed background knowledge.
