# Import/Export (CSV)

You can import and export your localized text assets with [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) files easily.

### Exporting to CSV File

Follow these steps to export your text assets as [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file:

```
Window -> GameToolkit -> Localization -> Export .csv
```

It will create a [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file to path you selected. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Languages that are included in [localization settings](/gametoolkit-localization/getting-started.md#3-localization-settings) can be exported only.
{% endhint %}

### Importing from CSV File

Follow these steps to import a [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file to your project:

```
Window -> GameToolkit -> Localization -> Import .csv
```

It will create text assets which does not exist before, and updates ones that are exist before. There are few rules for importing a [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file successfully:

* The first record must be a "header", which contains column names in each of the fields
  * The first column of the first record is the asset name (Key).
  * Following columns are the languages that are used in the project.
    * Language column must have [ISO-639-1 language code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes). If the column has any other data like language name or something like that, it must be separated by whitespace from the language code.
* Following records contains localized text values regarding to the corresponding language.
  * The first column must have the asset name (Key) that must be unique.

You can specify import location for newly created localized text assets from [localization settings](/gametoolkit-localization/getting-started.md#3-localization-settings).
