How to restore my translations?

Hi dear, yesterday I accidentally deleted the source file, then I re-uploaded it, but all translations are gone now😭 I know I can re-store them by TM but the authority of translations will be lost. Is there any chance to restored by deleted file with all translations?

No worries, you can restore the deleted file in the Activity tab - there is UNDO button almost for all actions :slight_smile:

Not for deletion of strings, right?

Hello @johant

If you delete strings you can restore them from the File revision:

Please note this is a premium feature and works not with all subscription plans (for example, it’s not included in the Free plan).

As an alternative, you can always update the file with an older version (in case you have it stored locally for example) and run the Translation memory pre-translate.

I think we pay for an account, but I couldn’t find the exact subscripton in my account info.
I couldn’t find revisions. Is it located under the “Sources” tab? I don’t have such a tab.

Only the project owner can see the subscription information. From my side, I see that the project you’ve mentioned is strings-based, while File Revision works only for file-based projects.

In this case, you can upload source strings from Github or API and run the Translation memory pre-translate to restore lost suggestions.

You can find information about strings based API here → Crowdin API Reference (String-based)
