# Reusing translations within the same project (Load translations)

The functionality which enables [updating a template in mid-project](https://docs.plint.com/books/plint-end-user-documentation/page/handling-changes-in-a-subtitling-template-in-mid-workflow) can also be used to import translations from other jobs on the same project. It might be described as a simple, built-in translation memory.

##### Use cases include (but are not limited to):

- Importing text from from a similar language or language version as the starting point of your translation
- Importing completed translations from another part/episode on the same project 
    - Recurring strings ("Previously on ...")
    - Different edits of the same programme

##### Requirements

- This function relies entirely on finding subtitles/blocks with the same **reference text**
    - Making it ideal for locked-template workflows
- With the right job settings, users can select other translations on the same project and import text from them

##### An example

- In the project below, work is completed on the Swedish translation in Part 1. The subsequent Spot QC job is also done (screenshot 1).
- Part 2 has a completed English template with many identical strings.
- The job settings for the "Subtitling from template" job in Part 2 allow importing subtitles from translations where all jobs are done (screenshot 2)
- When the owner of this job goes to Job details / Load translations in Plint Subtitler (screenshot 3), they can choose from translations where all jobs are done (screenshot 4). In this case, this means Swedish translations from part 1. 
    - (You can also allow import of subtitles from translations that are still in process, for example before the final QC is done. The right choice depends on your workflow.)

**Pro tip:** With the setting below, you can make any job the "completion job" by adding any tag to it. The translation in this part/language will be considered ready for import and reuse when a tagged job within that node is Done.
