Enterprise localization often requires offline workflows. Whether you need to send 5,000 strings to a legal team for review or migrate legacy translation memory from another system, MultiLipi provides full read/write access to your linguistic data.
This guide covers the protocols for Ingesting External Data (Import)ja Extracting Translation Memory (Export).

You can overwrite or update your live translation index by uploading a structured file.

- Navigate to your MultiLipi Dashboard.
- Select Käännökset > kielet from the sidebar.
- Locate the specific language pair you wish to update (e.g., English → Hindi).
- Klikkaa Edit Icon (pencil) to open the Translation Memory for that locale.
Step 2: Initiate Ingestion
In the top toolbar of the editor, click the Import Icon.
Step 3: Upload & Configure
