Detailed parameter settings

Replace changed translations

What it does: Updates existing keys with new values from the file
When to use: When synchronizing with external changes
Example: If a translator updated the file outside the system

Delete keys that are not in the file

What it does: Completely synchronizes project structure with the file
When to use: During full localization updates
Warning: Deleted keys cannot be restored

Fill empty keys with key name

What it does: Replaces empty values with the key name itself
When to use: For temporary/technical translations
Example: "button_submit": "" → "button_submit": "button_submit"

Convert to universal placeholders

Benefits:

  • Standardization - all variables in the project are unified to a single format, eliminating processing errors

  • Export flexibility - during export, you can choose any needed format for specific platforms or libraries

  • Simplified workflow - no more manual placeholder template editing when transferring between systems

How it works:

  1. Upload file with any placeholder format

  2. System converts them to universal internal standard

  3. During export, choose the needed format for your platform

Tip: Always enable this option when working with multiple platforms – it will save significant time on manual editing.

Plural format configuration

Select plural format in JSON:

  • JSON object

  • JSON string

  • i18next v4

  • ICU/ICU Numerical

  • Symfony

Note: This parameter is mandatory for correct plural form handling in JSON

Replace \n with line breaks

What it does: Converts technical symbols to visible line breaks
When to use: For multi-line text in interfaces
