Export translations from SimpleLocalize translation editor into any format, including an Excel and JSON format. The export feature allows you to save translations locally or send them to translators without giving access to the translation editor. The user can choose to export the content in a wide variety of formats.
To export translations, open your project and switch tab to the 'Data'. Select a file format by clicking the icon and start export by clicking 'Start export' button. After that, you will be able to download translations by clicking 'Download the file'.

Conflicting nested keys
When exporting translations to a JSON file with the WRITE_NESTED option, you may encounter conflicting nested keys.
This happens when a translation key is both a value holder and a parent of other keys at the same time. JSON does not allow a key to be both a string and an object simultaneously.
For example, if you have the following translation keys:
home.login = "Log in"
home.login.text = "Please log in to continue"
home.login.title = "Welcome back"
home.login.validation = "Invalid credentials"
The export would try to produce this invalid JSON:
{
"home": {
"login": "Log in",
"login": {
"text": "Please log in to continue",
"title": "Welcome back",
"validation": "Invalid credentials"
}
}
}
This is invalid because home.login cannot be both a string ("Log in") and an object at the same time.

To resolve this, rename the conflicting key home.login to something more specific, e.g. home.login.button:
home.login.button = "Log in"
home.login.text = "Please log in to continue"
home.login.title = "Welcome back"
home.login.validation = "Invalid credentials"
Now the export produces valid nested JSON:
{
"home": {
"login": {
"button": "Log in",
"text": "Please log in to continue",
"title": "Welcome back",
"validation": "Invalid credentials"
}
}
}

After renaming the conflicting keys, you can export translations with WRITE_NESTED option enabled.
