INI File

The INI file format is often used for configuration files on some platforms and software.

INI files are simple text files with a basic structure composed of sections, properties, and values and since they have a simple setup they are often also used for custom software localization solutions.

You can either import and export your .ini files manually on the dashboard or you can automate your INI file translation process with the GL Strings Localization CLI.
