Export translations

Important

You can export your project’s translations from Launchpad by requesting a one-off download through the web interface.

Requesting a one-off download

You can request a .po or .mo file for any one or all of the languages for which your project has translation efforts.

Requesting a partial export

If you don’t want to download a full PO file, you can request an export of only those strings that have changed in Launchpad since the translations were last imported. This is useful if you run an upstream project that has its own translation effort and is also translated using Launchpad for the Ubuntu distribution.

When you are on the web page for the PO file in question, select Download from the grey menu bar. You will be presented with the option to choose the file format for the download - either PO format, or MO format, or Changes from packaged translations in partial PO format. Choose the latter option for a partial export.
