1. In the Languages view on the Overview tab, click **![Down arrow](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_langexport.png)** | **Export Content for Translation**.
2. Select the language content that you want to export for translation. (Use CTRL+click to select multiple items.)
3. Optionally, enter a different filename. The default name is languages.xml.
4. Click **OK**.
5. If required by your browser, choose where to save the file.

After you export the .xml file, you can send it for translation.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/images/icon_example.png)

Example The .xml file contains a time stamp attribute that records the time of the export, and encloses all translatable content in CDATA sections, as shown in this example.

When you receive the translated .xml file, import it back into the site.

- [About Editing Language Content](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_languages_picker.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The default language is the language in which your site initially displays. By default, it's set to English (US), and it serves as the starting point when you add new languages. So for example, if you build your site and then add French as a site language, the French version initially contains English (US) content until you replace it with French-specific content.")
