Everyone in the team can export. An export includes every translation that is not empty and has no placeholder error. For the same translations, an export always produces exactly the same files, so git diffs stay small.

​
How to export

1

Open the export

On the project page or in the editor, click Export (Exporteren). If you have selected keys in the editor, Tolk exports only those.
2

Choose a profile or format

Choose an export profile, or Other format… (Ander formaat…) for a layout of your own.
3

Languages and missing translations

Choose the languages and what Tolk does with a missing translation: Fall back to the fallback language (Terugvallen op de fallback-taal), Leave empty (Leeg laten) or Leave out (Weglaten).
4

Download

Click Download (Downloaden). Multiple files come in a zip with your project’s folder structure. A large export is built in the background; you see its progress.

​
Default profiles

Every project gets profiles that match its type. They export all languages and fall back to the fallback language.

​
A format and profiles of your own

With Other format… you choose:
  • the file format: Laravel PHP or JSON, JSON for JS, JS module, PO, POT, MO, WordPress PHP, WordPress JS JSON (Jed), CSV, XLSX, XLIFF 1.2 or 2.0;
  • the path, with the tokens {locale}, {locale_posix}, {wp_locale}, {group} and {domain};
  • the shape (flat or nested), the notation for plurals (with a pipe character or with a suffix _one, _other), and whether placeholders are kept or converted, for example :name to {name} for vue-i18n;
  • extra options per format, such as one sheet per namespace or all languages in one file.
With Save as profile (Bewaren als profiel) you save the settings for everyone in the project. A custom profile is also available in the API and the Laravel package. A project has at most 20 custom profiles. You cannot delete default profiles.
You can also fetch an export profile through the API, with an ETag so nothing is downloaded again when nothing has changed. See Imports and exports through the API.
