CSV files

CSV files can contain a simple list of source and translation. Weblate supports the following files:

• Files with header defining fields (location, source, target, ID, fuzzy, context, translator_comments, developer_comments). This is the recommended approach, as it is the least error prone. Choose CSV file as a file format.

• Files with two fields—source and translation (in this order). Choose Simple CSV file as a file format.

• Headerless files with fields in order defined by the translate-toolkit: location, source, target, ID, fuzzy, context, translator_comments, developer_comments. Choose CSV file as a file format.

• Remember to define Ettspråklig basis-språkfil when your files are monolingual (see Bilingual and monolingual formats).

Hint

By default, the CSV format does autodetection of file encoding. This can be unreliable in some corner cases and causes performance penalty. Please choose a file format encoding to avoid this (for example UTF-8).

Advarsel

The CSV format currently automatically detects the dialect of the CSV file. In some cases the automatic detection might fail and you will get mixed results. This is especially true for CSV files with newlines in the values. As a workaround it is recommended to omit quoting characters.
