Import terms​

If you have existing terms in an .xlsx (Microsoft Excel), .csv or .tsv file you can import them into your glossary. Please, read Tilde Term > Import collection

Update existing translations after adding new terms​

Website Translator saves your translations in a database. To ensure that latest terms you added to your glossary are used, the old translations need to be cleared out.

Website Translator​

You can delete translations in three ways:

  • Delete all machine translations: This starts fresh with your glossary.
  • Delete translations from a single page: Perfect for updating specific content.
