Hello,

i translate my projects with Lingo.

Text-Translations with XLIFF works perfect.

But I dont found a good way to change the Screenshots.

Because I have the Screenshots in 3 languages with the totally same name in different folders.

How to change the Screenshots in the translated projects?

I replace images in the translated Flare project. As long as the links to the images are unchanged and the image files have the same name in each language, you should be good.

Yeah i do it the same way, but every time i get a new translation, i have to make a new export ( lingo -> flare) and every time i have to change the screenshots...

You may also want to look into replacing screen shots with screen portraits. See Andy Robertson's famous blog post here: https://techwritetips.wordpress.com/200 ... portraits/
Using screen portraits is a little bit more upfront work, but you will have no need to replace anything for any number of languages.

Only if it's a new project. But not if you are updating an existing project. Maybe I'm not understanding your workflow, but when I have a translation project I use Windows Explorer to copy the translated images into the Content/Resources/Images folder of the Flare project after I export from Lingo. When the project has updates, I use File > Update Project. Lingo knows what files are added or revised and leaves the previous translated files (including images) intact. When you export the updated project, you only need to replace any new images.
