    • Ensure you are familiar with HTML before modifying the content of the Excel sheet. The Excel sheet contains not only the text content but also the formatting and metadata about the content.

    • While translating the content of the Excel sheet, ensure you do not modify any content within the <> tags. These are HTML tags and are required to format the content.

    1. Translate the content in the target language column.

    • You receive the following error when the downloaded content exceeds the character limit of the excel and cannot be translated in the excel format.
      • Error: Field could not be exported due to Excel character limit. Please update the translation on Whatfix Dashboard.
    • This content can be translated using Whatfix UI.
    1. Once the files are translated, convert them into a .zip file using a compressor tool and upload them.
