Migrating from Transifex to locize

If you want to move your translations from Transifex to locize, this guide walks you through exporting your files, setting up a locize project, and importing everything cleanly.

---

1) Export your localization files from Transifex

1. Log in to your Transifex account.
2. Go to Dashboard.
3. Select the project you want to migrate.
4. Open Resources.
5. Download the translation files via Download all translations (ZIP):
   • https://docs.transifex.com/projects/downloading-translations#downloading-a-zip-file-with-all-translation-files
6. Extract the ZIP so you have the raw translation files on disk.

You can also download files via:

• CLI: https://docs.transifex.com/client/pull
• API: https://docs.transifex.com/api/introduction

2) Create a locize project

1. If you haven’t already, create an account and your first project
2. Add the languages you need
3. (Optional but recommended) Decide on namespaces and create them

3) Import your files into locize

You can import using any of these options:

• UI import
• CLI
• API

---

4) Verify & go live

• Spot-check a few keys in each language (especially plural forms and interpolation placeholders).
• Confirm your reference language matches what your app expects.
• If you use i18next, consider setting up a workflow that keeps locize and your repo in sync (CLI) or updates keys automatically (API).
