3. You translate all the tokens in your new language in a simple text editor such as Notepad on PC or TextEdit on Mac.
4. You import the translated tokens the translation file from the Admin Panel.

Once the file is open, you will see a list of tokens with a combination or token name and value. What you need to translate is the value between quotation marks for each token.

Each token corresponds to a piece of text that can be found on your User Portal. Tokens can be static or dynamic.

Static tokens are simply text that doesn't change on your User Portal.

For example, the Community page will always be named Community regadless of who is browsing your User Portal or what they do on the page.

Dynamic tokens include variables that change based on the user interacting with the User Portal page or your space's settings.
The only text you should translate in dynamic tokens is plain text that isn't between double curly braces {{ }}.

For example, you should only translate Booking Calendar in the token below:
