Exporting Learnlist Translations

Overview

Learn Amp allows you to export Learnlist content for translation purposes. This is useful when you need to send content to external translators or translation services, or when you want to manage translations in bulk outside the platform.

The export feature creates a structured file containing all translatable fields from your Learnlist, making it easy to provide translators with the content they need.
