Create and manage projects

Create a project, find it again, and duplicate, archive or delete it.

2 min read ยท Updated October 2026

A project holds the keys and translations of one product or piece of content. See Core concepts if you are new to the terms.

Create a project #

On the Projects page choose New project .

FieldNotes
Project nameRequired.
DescriptionOptional.
Source languageThe language the source texts are written in. Defaults to English. It cannot be changed after the project is created.
Target languagesOptional. Pick as many as you need. You can add or change them later in the project settings.

What you get:

  • A protected main branch.
  • You as the project’s manager.

Any member of the organization can create a project, as long as the plan allows another active project. See Plans and limits.

To create a project from a repository instead, see GitHub and GitLab. The From repository button on the Projects page appears once one of them is connected.

The Projects page #

  • The subtitle shows the number of active projects and the number of languages across them.
  • All, Active and Archived filter the list. Each shows how many projects it contains.
  • Search projects filters by name.
  • Sort by Name A-Z, Last updated, Progress or Key count.
  • Switch between a grid of cards and a list.

Each project shows its icon and color, the source language and target languages, the progress, the number of keys and languages, its status, its members and when it was last updated. Select a project to open its editor.

Project actions #

The menu with three dots on a project offers:

ActionWhat it does
Open editorOpens the translation editor.
SettingsOpens the project settings.
Import & exportOpens Import & export in the project settings.
DuplicateCreates “name (copy)”.
Archive / RestoreMoves a project out of or back into the active list.
Delete projectDeletes the project for good.

Duplicating, archiving, restoring and deleting need the manager role in the project.

Duplicate copies the settings, languages, access and the source texts of main. Translations are not copied. A duplicate counts as an active project of your plan.

Archive hides the project from the active list and from the project switcher. Nothing is deleted, and you can restore it at any time. Archived projects do not count towards the project limit of your plan.

Delete project removes all keys, translations and history. Continuous Translations asks for confirmation first. This cannot be undone.
