Importing and Exporting Translations

Documentation on importing and exporting translations.

For importing refset members, a user must have a Refset (see Creating a Refset).

To export a translation follow these steps:

Log into the tool (https://refset.ihtsdotools.org)
Select the "Translation" tab or the "Directory" tab.
Choose the Translation you want to export and the Translation Concepts (or Finished Concepts in the case of Translations that are still being edited) will be displayed in the table below.
Click on the "Export refset members" icon
Fill in the "Export Translation" form

Double click on the downloaded file displayed on your browser frame or open the Downloads directory on your computer to find the exported file.

To import a translation follow these steps:

There may already be some concepts or the Translation may be empty. Either way, click on the "Import translation concepts" icon.
Fill in the "Import Translation" form. Select the I/O Handler that matches the input file format. Browse to find and select the input file.
- For Import RF2, the input file will be a zip file that contains both a Refset Language file and a Description file.
- For Import Excel, the input file will be the Translation Import Template.xlsx, downloadable here: Useful Documentation. The whole template file should be selected, but only the 'Description Additions' tab will be imported.
- For Import Term Server, no file is required. It will pull any existing translated descriptions from Snowstorm, using on the Edition/Version specified by the source refset.
Click 'Import'.
For Import RF2 and Import Term Server, imported concepts will be sent to the Finished Concepts table. For Import Excel, imported concepts will be sent to the Available Concepts table, for role=REVIEWER.
