Backup & Restore

You are viewing help for Supervertaler for Trados — the Trados Studio plugin. Looking for help with the standalone app? Visit Supervertaler Workbench help.

Use the Export Settings and Import Settings buttons in the Backup tab of the Settings dialog to back up and restore your Supervertaler configuration.

Export

Click Export Settings... to save a copy of your current settings to a JSON file. Choose a location and filename — the default is supervertaler-settings.json. This file contains all your plugin settings: termbase paths, toggle states, font size, shortcut preferences, AI provider keys, model selections, and prompt configuration.

Tip: Export your settings before upgrading the plugin or switching machines, so you can quickly restore your setup.

Import

Click Import Settings... to restore settings from a previously exported JSON file. The import process:

1. Validates that the selected file is a valid Supervertaler settings file

2. Creates an automatic backup of your current settings (settings.backup.json)

3. Replaces your current settings with the imported ones

4. Closes the Settings dialog and applies the new settings immediately

Importing settings replaces all current settings. Your previous settings are automatically backed up in case you need to revert.

Settings file location

Your settings are stored at:

%LocalAppData%\Supervertaler.Trados\settings.json

You can also manually back up or edit this file. After an import, the previous settings are saved as settings.backup.json in the same folder.
