+The "export" button allows you to perform a database export of the database text for a particular language. This export can then be viewed in a comma separated format for you to perform your translation of the text. Follow the on-screen instructions for exporting and importing text into the software.
+These are the steps you would see but always reference those and not these if there is a discrepancy:
+  - Save your language by clicking the 'Download' below.
+  - Open the resulting text.csv file in a spreadsheet editor such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc.
+  - Translate each piece of text that is located in the 'Text' column.
+  - Save as text.csv. The file must be saved using the Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) format.
+  - Upload (FTP) the translated text.csv file to the 'admin' directory of your software on the server.
+  - Locate the language in the Languages Menu that you would like to import text for. You might have to create a new language first.
+  - Click the 'Import' link next to the language you would like to import your translated text into.
