Edit translations in the CSV file

Mind the following:

• Edit only values in the translation column.

• Only a comma (,) or a semicolon (;) can be used as a separator. Attention: If you use Pages by Apple Inc. to edit your file, it may sometimes add extra semicolons to the first row, potentially affecting file upload.

• For multi-word translations containing spaces, use quotes ("My new translation").

• If there is no originalDefaultTranslation, then the custom translation is always ignored.

• If the languageDefaultTranslation and the custom translation are the same, then the custom translation is ignored.

• In other cases, the custom translation is updated.
