# Flow Files for Translation

In addition to the Flow built-in translation workflow, Flow offers a new capability to export all textual bot content (what users will see) to be translated and imported. Often the file is sent to a third party for translation. After the translation is completed, the translator sends the translated file back to the company that can be imported. However, importing the file would overwrite or add the translated content.

The Flow Translation Export feature allows the users to export the files easily, this file can then be sent to a third party for translation. Once the translation is completed, the file with actual and translated text can be imported to the project.
