Exporting and Importing a Language File

This article explains the steps to preserve or restore the content of a language file. This uses the Bulk Language editor where the formatting of the constant and values are in a raw form. Take care in not adjusting the content itself as this can render the Language file unusable.

​Preserving the Language Content

Access the Language topic and select from the Language Overrides.
​

Copy the bulk content

• Choose the Bulk Editor

• Place the cursor into the content
• Select all content (Ctrl+A)
• Copy the content to the clipboard (Ctrl+C)

Save the bulk content

• Open a Notepad session
• Paste the content into the file (Ctrl+V)
• Save the file with a name of the Language Overrides e.g. en-US (1)

Restoring the Language Content

Access the Language topic and select from the Language Overrides.

If the Language file doesn’t yet exist create a new file taking care to select the Language to match e.g. “en-US”.
​

Access the bulk content

• Open a Notepad session with the file saved from the previous steps.
• Select all content (Ctrl+A)
• Paste the content to the clipboard (Ctrl+V)

Paste the bulk content

• Choose the Bulk Editor.
• Place the cursor into the content
• Select all content (Ctrl+A) - to be replaced
• Paste the content from the clipboard (Ctrl+V) - to replace
• Save the Language Override file

Check and adjust the Interface section Language & Internationalization Settings > Language Code for any Interface that should use this language file.
