Is there a way to populate all the translation terms in translation manager in UI, like in a dropdwn component or a table? ---

if its not filled through a binding you can probably adapt this to find everything across all your resources: > [@Export all component text used in Ignition](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/export-all-component-text-used-in-ignition/53668/4): > > Here is a script i used to automatically add all text values to the translate manager in perspective By checking the resource files… warning this may take a while xd import os import json from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.script import GatewaySystemUtilities package = IgnitionGateway.get().getLocalizationManager().loadFullPackage() oldKeys = package.getAvailableKeys() context = IgnitionGateway.get() path… here it looks for text, but you could look for "label" too probably. > [@Export all component text used in Ignition](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/export-all-component-text-used-in-ignition/53668/4): > > `for x in json_extract(json.loads(open(root + '/view.json').read()), 'text'):` idk how table translation works though. ---

Hi @Rohit_Das, It's working for me. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Download latest version of resource on Exchange 2. Unzip the downloaded zip file 3. Import into your project the zip file contained in the Project folder. Even if the folder is called Project this need to be imported in an existing project and not as a new project. Hope this helps Regard Arnaud
