.json`.
3. 3 ### Step 3: Translate the file
Fill in the values per language or hand the file to the translation team. Keep the structure and entry identifiers unchanged.
4. 4 ### Step 4: Close Studio
Ask everyone to close Studio for this project, because the import disconnects running sessions.
5. 5 ### Step 5: Import
Click **Import**, upload the file and confirm the notice.
6. 6 ### Step 6: Read the result and publish
The message shows how many translations were applied and skipped. Then publish or deploy as usual.
## Check the result
After the import, Cockpit reports for example *Imported 124 translations, 3 skipped*. In Studio, the new texts appear in the respective language once the market with that language is selected.
## Frequently asked questions
Why does export or import fail?
Both read the field schema from the deployed frontend. If the project was never deployed or is unreachable, a message asks to publish or deploy first.
Why were entries skipped?
Values are skipped when their field no longer exists or is no longer translatable, when their language is not set up in the project, or when the value is invalid for the field.
Can an import be undone?
Not from the dialog. Before each import, Cockpit captures the pre-translation-import snapshot, which can be restored from the project's snapshot list.
Are product data translated too?
No. Export and import only cover the content of the project's pages, not product or catalogue data from connected apps.
