Bring your translations

You're replacing a snippet either way. Bring the file with you.

By November 30, 2026 Bablic asks legacy customers to open a new account. ConveyThis imports the CSV or TMX you already paid for, and you keep the account you open.

CSV and TMX translation files moving from an existing website into a new translated site

You have two practical migration paths

Stay

Legacy Bablic → New Bablic

  • New account. The signup is a 30-day trial.
  • New snippet, then review the translated site.
  • Human translations and glossary terms move within two business days.

Switch

Legacy Bablic → ConveyThis

  • Keep the current site live while you test.
  • Import the CSV or TMX file you already paid for.
  • The account you open is the one you keep, including on the free plan.
Move to ConveyThis

If you stay, Bablic moves human translations and glossary terms within two business days. The deadline is November 30, 2026. Their steps.

Why the migration window is a good time to compare platforms

The work already inside the platform is what makes a switch feel expensive.

  • Translated strings
  • Human edits
  • Product descriptions
  • Localized buttons
  • Landing pages
  • SEO metadata
  • Glossary rules
  • Forms and navigation

You already have to install a new script, review the site, and finish before the deadline. The open question is where you land.

What does a translation export look like?

A simple CSV translation file can contain the source text in one column and the translated text in another.

For example:

Original Spanish
Free shipping over $50Envío gratis a partir de $50
Size guideGuía de tallas
Add to cartAñadir al carrito
Contact usContáctanos

TMX files are also supported.

The important point is that existing translation work can remain reusable.

Changing your translation platform does not necessarily mean paying to translate the same content again.

How to move from Bablic to ConveyThis

Leave the current Bablic setup live until the replacement has been reviewed.

  1. 1

    Keep Bablic live

    The multilingual site stays up while you prepare the replacement.

  2. 2

    Back up the file

    Export CSV or TMX if you can, and keep an untouched copy.

  3. 3

    Open ConveyThis

    Add the domain and choose the source and target languages. The free plan needs no card.

  4. 4

    Install it

    Use the plugin, a native integration, or the JavaScript snippet.

  5. 5

    Let it scan

    Imported lines need source text on the site to match against.

  6. 6

    Import the file

    Domains, then Translation Management, then CSV/TMX. Pick the languages, upload, and edit any row before it goes live. File format.

Review the important pages first

Start with the pages that matter to the business. Strings that were edited by hand in Bablic are the ones to check first.

  • Homepage
  • Navigation
  • Pricing
  • Products
  • Checkout
  • Forms
  • Landing pages
  • Legal pages
  • Hand-edited strings
  • SEO pages

Check multilingual SEO before removing Bablic

Text in another language is not the whole job. If a translated page already gets traffic, write down its URL before you change anything.

  • Translated URLs
  • Hreflang
  • Title tags
  • Meta descriptions
  • Canonical tags
  • Internal links
  • Indexability

ConveyThis gives each language its own URL, with hreflang and metadata you can edit. See multilingual SEO.

Remove the old Bablic setup only after testing

Do not leave both systems on the live site longer than you need to. Remove the old code after this is true:

  • Language switcher works
  • Important pages are translated
  • The import matched
  • Forms work
  • SEO metadata is present
  • Translated URLs resolve

Monitor the site after migration

  • Page rendering
  • Broken URLs
  • Language switching
  • Search Console
  • Traffic by language
  • Forms and checkout
  • Navigation
  • New content

What changes after moving to ConveyThis?

Translation management then happens in ConveyThis. The account you open is the one you keep, including on the free plan.

  • Automatic translations
  • Manual edits
  • Visual editing
  • Glossary rules
  • Translated metadata
  • Multilingual SEO
  • More languages
  • New site content

Should you stay with Bablic or switch?

Staying is a valid path. Bablic moves human translations and glossary terms for legacy users. If you were already thinking about a change, you are going to replace the snippet and review the site either way.

Instead of only “How do I move to the new Bablic?”

Which platform do I want after this migration is finished?
