I have looking around and i found only 1 way to backup locales folder and restore it in the new discourse; but im looking for advanced advice from expert member here.

How to restore site setting + customize languages ( which has been changed by me word by word ).

and restore it to new discourse, how to achive that ? by coping locales.tar.gz to new discourse forum ?

I have exported the translation by this command:

> root@old-app:/# rake export:translation\_overrides  
> Exporting all translation overrides…
> 
> Export saved to translation-overrides-2023-04-02-223254.json
> 
> Done
> 
> root@old-app:/#

and then move the file translation-overrides-2023-04-02-223254.json to new discourse container and restore using this command:

> root@ar:/var/discourse# docker exec -it app rails r ‘SiteSetting.import\_settings\_from\_file(“translation-overrides-2023-04-02-223254.json”)’  
> Please specify a valid ruby command or the path of a script to run.  
> Run ‘rails runner -h’ for help.
> 
> undefined method `import\_settings\_from\_file’ for SiteSetting:Class  
> root@ar:/var/discourse#

and try this

> root@app:/var/www/discourse# rake import:translation\_overrides[‘translation-overrides-2023-04-02-223254.json’]  
> rake aborted!  
> Don’t know how to build task ‘import:translation\_overrides’ (See the list of available tasks with `rake --tasks`)  
> Did you mean? export:translation\_overrides  
> /usr/local/bin/bundle:25:in `load' /usr/local/bin/bundle:25:in `’  
> (See full trace by running task with --trace)  
> root@app:/var/www/discourse#

I check the last rake tasks using command:

`bundle exec rake -T`

– rask tasks

Based on the output you provided, it seems that the `rake import:translation_overrides` task is not defined in Discourse installation, which is causing the error; how i may import it ?

– I found out; here is it for future guys who need this assistance.

```plaintext
root@app:/var/www/discourse# rake import:file[translation-overrides-2023-04-02-223848.json]
Importing translation overrides...

Done

root@app:/var/www/discourse#

```
