The Contentful integration in Lokalise Vantage lets you connect a Contentful space directly when creating a project. Instead of uploading files manually, you can browse and filter Contentful entries, select the content you want to translate, and import it into Vantage.

Once the translations are ready, you can send them back to the corresponding entries in Contentful.

Start by creating a new project in Lokalise Vantage:

Log in to Contentful and authorize Lokalise Vantage to access your content. If you're already logged in to Contentful, you'll be taken directly to the authorization screen.

After authorization:

If the space contains only the master environment, it is selected automatically. If multiple environments are available, select the one you want to use.

After connecting Contentful, Vantage displays the entries available in the selected space and environment.

For each entry, you can see:

Select the entries you want to translate, then click Continue.

Use filters to narrow down the content you want to import. You can filter entries by:

You can also use the search field to find entries by text. When selecting content types or tags, start typing in the filter field to narrow down the available options.

Select one or more entries using the checkboxes next to them.

To select all entries that match the current filters, select an entry and click Select all items.

On the content selection screen, you can also enable Include referenced entries.

Contentful entries can reference other entries. When this option is enabled, Vantage imports the entries referenced by the content you've selected along with the selected entries themselves.

For example, if a page entry references several reusable content entries, Vantage imports both the page and those referenced entries. If the option is disabled, only the entries you selected directly are imported.

Once you've selected the content you want to translate, click Continue to start the import.

After you select an entry, an option to select all matching items appears at the bottom of the content selection screen. Click Select all items to select every entry that matches the current filters and search criteria.

This selection is not limited to the entries currently visible in the table. For example, if your filters match hundreds or thousands of entries, Select all items selects the entire matching set, including entries on other pages.

You can then continue with the import as usual.

Next, you can configure a glossary for the project if needed.

Then, select the workflow you want to use for the translation (Instant Pro AI translation or Pro AI translation with human review). To learn more about the available options, see Choose a workflow.

When you're ready, click Start AI translation.

Vantage imports the selected Contentful entries and starts translating them using the workflow you selected. You can open the imported content in the Vantage editor to review and edit the translations as needed.

Once the translation workflow is complete, the content appears under the Done tab, ready to be sent back to Contentful.

You can import additional Contentful entries or re-import existing content at any time.

In the project editor, click Import from Contentful in the left sidebar. This opens the same content selection screen used during the initial project setup.

Select the entries you want to import or re-import, then click Import.

Completed content appears under Done in the left sidebar, where you can see details such as the entry name, translation progress, target language, and last edited date.

To export translations back to Contentful:

Vantage sends the selected translations to the connected Contentful space and environment. Once the export is complete, a confirmation message appears in Vantage.
