# Set and Manage Translations

This article explains how to set and manage translations in the Publisher Dashboard. You can also set and manage translations using the [Translations API service](/../../api-reference/translations/introduction). Updates made through the API appear in the CSV file, and any changes to the CSV file are synced back to the API.

## Set translations

Follow these steps to translate content:

### Step 1 | Add languages

[Add your languages](./add-and-manage-languages) in the Publisher Dashboard. Each time you add a language, a new column is created in the CSV files.

### Step 2 | Download the translation files

Download the 2 CSV translation files to view all translatable fields:

1. Go to the **Localization** tab.
2. Scroll to **Download Up-to-Date Translations File**.
3. Click **Download Static Strings** and **Download Dynamic Strings** to download both CSV files.

### Step 3 | Add translations

Add translations for each string in the appropriate language column in both the static and dynamic CSV files.

To add translations:

1. Open the 2 CSV files. They contain the following columns:

   | Column              | Description                                               |
   | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
   | **Key**             | The identifier for the string.                            |
   | **English**         | The default English text that requires translation.       |
   | **Other Languages** | Columns where you can add translations for each language. |

2. Enter your translations in the appropriate language columns and save the files.
   <Note>
     * You can't modify or delete the English text.
     * Column headers are fixed and cannot be changed.
   </Note>
