Adding new phrases
There are currently two ways to add phrases to the platform.
- Manual input (not recommended)
- Uploading through file
Which one should you choose?
OneSky Customer Success team says OPTION 2: Uploading through file.
The manual input feature is intended to "test" the platform and see how phrases can be translated. Manually input phrases have no sequence indication - this means that the phrases can appear in random places in your project. All phrases that exist on the platform should exist on a file. This is to ensure a more seamless localization workflow, especially when you update your phrases (see below).
Updating phrases
There are currently two ways to update phrases on the platform. Lets say you have file "string.xml" with two strings "Apple" and "Banana", and you wish to add a third string "Orange".
Original:
String 1: Apple
String 2: Banana
Option 1
- Upload "string.xml" with ONLY String 3: Oranges
- NOT deprecate phrases that do not appear in string.xml
- Platform will contain Strings 1, 2, and 3
Option 2
- Upload "string.xml" with original + new string (Strings 1, 2, 3)
- Platform will contain Strings 1, 2, and 3
So which option should you go with? Our product team says Option 2.
Each file should be treated as the source of truth and contain the "hard copy" of all of the strings that are currently on the platform. This will reduce the complications with your localization workflow and platform usability.

Quick Draw
Hello,
When updating phrases, you can use either of the following methods:
Manual Input (not recommended for updating):
You could manually add the new phrase ("Orange") on the platform. However, this would lead to the same issue as with the initial phrase input: the new phrase may appear out of order and without a clear sequence, disrupting the localization process.
Uploading through File (recommended for updates):
The best method for updating your phrases is by uploading an updated file that includes the new string. For example, if your file is string.xml, you would simply add the new string ("Orange") into this file and upload it. This ensures the phrases are correctly sequenced and managed in a more structured manner. It also helps keep your project organized and ensures smooth updates when you need to add or modify phrases in the future.
The key benefit of uploading via file is that it maintains the sequence of strings and guarantees that all phrases are consistent and can be easily localized without random placement. This approach is recommended by OneSky's Customer Success team for efficient and error-free localization.
