Facebook Ads translation with Crowdin

Copy link

Crowdin is an essential tool for businesses looking to expand their reach. Running localized ads through Facebook Ads is an excellent way for businesses to reach global markets. With the integration of Crowdin and Facebook Ads, businesses can streamline their translation and localization workflows, making it easier to create and launch localized campaigns.

This integration is implemented as a custom file format. You will need to export your campaigns as a CSV file, then translate with Crowdin and upload the translated CSV back through Facebook Ads.

Before uploading your files to the Crowdin project, you may want to check the Project -> Tools section to configure the application before use. Especially if you need to add or remove campaign data that should or should not be translated.

See Facebook's official documentation to learn how to export campaigns as CSV files.

Note:

  • When exporting ads from Facebook, you should select the CSV format.

  • Facebook exports tab-separated CSV files. If you need to edit the file before uploading it to Crowdin, make sure not to change the CSV configuration when saving. Also, do not rename exported files. Crowdin expects CSV files to be named “exportanything .csv”.

  • Facebook allows multilingual campaigns. When importing campaigns translated with Crowdin back to Facebook, you will get one campaign per language. Campaigns will have a language code in their names.
