What Does It Mean to Import Your Own Translations?

• Imported translations on products are indicated by the IMPORT icon – The translated part of the text is imported from your source (in the given language).

• We recommend importing your own translations only once, before translating in LOCO. If this procedure is not followed, ongoing translations may be overwritten.
• The IMPORT label is added to a product only when the translated text differs from the product’s source text.

Types of Custom Translation Imports

Importing Custom Translations via E-shop Platforms (Shoptet, Upgates, WPJ, …)

When you create an export connection by installing an Add-on or Plugin, your custom translations are imported by default.

Importing Custom Translations via XML

You can import your translated products into LOCO → Using an XML feed.

• In Connections, create a new import connection and import a feed with products in a foreign language. Products will be imported and linked to the original-language products via product ID, and they will be marked as “Translated”.

Importing Custom Translations via LOCO API

Using the LOCO API, you can import your own translations for products.

For each language you want to import a translation for, create an import connection.

• Create a separate import connection for each language, then trigger the “Update product” API function, using the product_id obtained from the import connection of the source language.

<aside> ❗

Imported translations are not included in the automatic translation process and will not be translated even after the source text is updated. If you decide that you want imported translations to be included in the update or translated using AUTO translation, you must first remove the imports and then translate them again.

You can find instructions in the article: Removing Custom Translations
