Import and export translations

Instead of generating translations with AI Translate, you can bring your own from a translation vendor, a spreadsheet, or another Pushwoosh preset. Import and Export sit next to the language selector at the top of the Push presets editor, as two icon buttons.

Export the current content

Click Export to download the preset’s title, subtitle, and message for every language it currently has, including the default one, as a CSV file named <preset-name>-translations.csv.

File format

A CSV file needs a header row with a language column. title, subtitle, and message are optional, and all four can be in any order. A column you leave out is treated as blank for every row, the same as an empty cell in a column you kept. Each following row is one language. Write the language code the same way it appears in the language selector, for example zh-Hant for Traditional Chinese. Pushwoosh matches it case-insensitively, but flags an unrecognized code instead of matching it:

language	title	subtitle	message
default	Welcome to our app!		Thanks for installing.
es	¡Bienvenido a nuestra app!		Gracias por instalar.
de	Willkommen in unserer App!		Danke fürs Installieren.

A JSON file works instead of CSV. It’s accepted in either of two shapes:

• Keyed by language, each holding its own title, subtitle, and message:

  {
    "default": { "title": "Welcome to our app!", "message": "Thanks for installing." },
    "es": { "title": "¡Bienvenido a nuestra app!", "message": "Gracias por instalar." }
  }

• The same shape the Presets API uses for localizedTitle, localizedSubtitle, and localizedContent. Useful if you already export presets through the API:

  {
    "localizedTitle": { "default": "Welcome to our app!", "es": "¡Bienvenido a nuestra app!" },
    "localizedContent": { "default": "Thanks for installing.", "es": "Gracias por instalar." }
  }

ملاحظة

For managing translations across many presets at once from your own scripts, use the Presets API’s UpdatePartial call directly instead of this editor. It takes the same localizedTitle, localizedSubtitle, and localizedContent maps.

Import translations into the preset

1. Click Import next to the language selector.
2. Choose a .csv or .json file. Pushwoosh reads it and shows how many languages will be applied, how many of those are new to this preset, and how many are skipped. A language is skipped when nothing in its row would change anything: either every field in the row is blank, or (without Overwrite, see the next step) the preset already has text in every field that row fills in.
3. To replace text in languages that already have content, check Overwrite languages that already have text. Leave it unchecked to only fill in languages that are still empty or add new languages, without touching what you already wrote.
4. Click Import.

If Pushwoosh can’t read the file

Pushwoosh shows one of these messages instead of a preview when it can’t make sense of the file:

Message	When it happens
The file is empty.	The file has no content.
The file is not valid JSON.	A .json file (or a file starting with {) can’t be parsed as JSON, or its top level isn’t an object.
The CSV file has no “language” column.	The header row of a CSV file is missing the language column.
The file has no translations.	Every row, or every JSON entry, is missing a language code.

A language in the file that isn’t in the preset yet is added automatically. An empty cell or field never clears existing text, even with Overwrite checked. It’s only skipped, not written as blank.

تنبيه

If a language code in the file isn’t a standard one Pushwoosh recognizes, the preview warns you which codes those are. No device is tagged with a non-standard code, so that language won’t reach anyone until you fix the code and re-import.
