If your organization sends Salesforce Knowledge articles to a vendor for translation,
use the Import Article Translations feature in Setup. You can only import articles that have been
exported from the same Salesforce organization. For example, you can't export articles from your
test or sandbox organization and import them into your production organization.
From Setup, enter Import Article Translations in the Quick
Find box, then select Import Article Translations.
Choose how Salesforce handles translations
after they're imported.

Description
Review imported translations on the Article Management tab before
publishing
Add imported translations to a queue from which support reps can review
them.
Publish translations immediately on import
Publish imported translations without reviews.
Select the language of the articles you're importing.
If you chose to have articles reviewed before publishing, select to send the files to a
user or a queue.
Click Browse, choose the translation .zip file to upload, and click
Open.
You must place all the translation files (meaning, those exported from Salesforce and
translated by your vendor) in a folder whose name is the same as the language code. For
example, put French articles in an fr folder. Zip up this folder to
create your import file.
Important To import translated articles successfully,
verify that the file structure and their extensions match the file structure and extensions of
files exported from Salesforce Knowledge for translation.
For example, if the target language is French, the file structure begins as
follows:
If you have more translated articles to upload, repeat steps four through six.
Click Finish.
An email notification is sent to you when your import finishes. You can view the status of
your import from Setup by entering Article Imports and Exports in the
Quick Find box, then selecting Article Imports and
Exports.
