Export
The developer language is available for selection in the list of target languages and additional languages. If it is selected there, the source language appears twice in the export file: On the one hand as the source language, of course, and on the other hand also marked as the target language. This option is helpful if you want to have the source language corrected by a proofreader. The option Only import texts that are identical for the source language in the project and in the import file, where an unchanged source language ("SourceLanguage" column) is required, is then available later when importing.
Example: Export file with double source language "German", once marked as "SourceLanguage", once as "TargetLanguage":
