This page imports the translated strings contained in an individual Gettext Portable Object (.po) file. Normally distributed as part of a translation package (each translation package may contain several .po files), a .po file may need to be imported after offline editing in a Gettext translation editor. Importing an individual .po file may be a lengthy process.

Note that the .po files within a translation package are imported automatically (if available) when new modules or themes are enabled, or as new languages are added. Since this page only allows the import of one .po file at a time, it may be simpler to download and extract a translation package into your Drupal installation directory and add the language (which automatically imports all .po files within the package). Translation packages are available for download on the Drupal translation page.
