Manage theme translations

After a developer localizes the theme data (see Create theme translations), a Marketplace Manager can upload the translation files to the marketplace. You can also view the current translations for each of your live and unpublished themes and download them.

Note: A theme can only support one set of translation files. When you upload new or updated translation files, they overwrite the existing theme translations. If you need a backup of the existing theme, download a copy before you upload the latest translations.

📝 Note: If the AppDirect logo appears in the upper-left corner of the page, when Manage > Marketplace appears in this topic, click the grid icon > Switch to | Store, instead.
