Merge translations from another project version

Merge translations allows project maintainers to copy translations across different project version based on matching context. (See below for context matching rules)

Restrictions

• This feature is only available to project maintainers.
• Only translations that are in translated/approved state will be used.
• Merge translation can only be run if there are no other copy operations in progress for the selected version, such as copy-trans or copy version.

Rule of which translations will be copied over

**From**	**To**	**Copy?**
fuzzy/untranslated	any	No
different source text/document id/ resId/msgctxt/locale	any	No
translated/approved	untranslated/fuzzy	Yes
translated/approved	translated/approved	copy if `From` is newer and `Keep existing translated/approved translations` is unchecked

Run Merge translations

1. Login to Zanata.
2. Select a project version you wish to copy translations to.
3. Expand More Action menu on top right corner and click on Merge Translations. This action is only available if you are a maintainer of the project.
4. In displayed dialog, select the project-version you wish to copy translations from.
5. If you do not want to overwrite translated/approved translations, ensure that Keep existing translated/approved translations is checked. If this option is not checked, translated/approved translations will be replaced with newer translated/approved translations if they are available.
6. Click Merge Translations button to start the process.
7. The progress of the merge process is shown by a progress bar on the version page.
