Remove a language

Remove a target language from a project, deleting every translation in it.

Remove a target language from a project, deleting every translation in it.

Who this is for

Developers, admins and owners.

Before you start

This deletes the translations, not just the language. If you might want them back, export or publish the locale first.

Steps

  1. Open the project overview.

  2. Find the language's row in the ledger.

  3. Select Remove under its action column.

  4. Confirm the prompt, which names the language and warns that its translations go with it.

What happens next

The language and all of its translations are deleted, and the ledger row disappears. Your keys and your source strings are untouched. Only that one target language is affected.

If it doesn't work

  • "The source language cannot be removed.": a project always has exactly one source language. Removing it would leave nothing to translate from.

  • If Remove is not shown, you do not have permission to manage languages in this project.
