.CSV File Structure
The first line must contain only supported column names (header) and can also contain multiple locale codes (only valid ones). Each following row then describes an actual term in the term base.
The order of the columns is not important. A minimal file must include at least the locale codes and may omit other columns.
Note
Different varieties of the same language (e.g. en, en-US, en-GB) are treated as completely different languages. If the term base has to be used for all varieties of that language, add all relevant locale codes to the file being imported.
Supported columns are:
term
The actual term used as an identifier.
case sensitive
If set to true, the term is case sensitive.
translatable
If set to true, the term is set as translatable.
description
A description of the term.
