## I. Understanding Translation History

**Translation History** automatically captures every successful translation you create, regardless of which translation engine or payment method you use. This comprehensive backup system ensures you never lose valuable translation work.

**What Gets Saved:**
* **Successful translations** using any engine (OpenAI, Google, DeepL, etc.)
* **Both API key and pay-per-use** translation methods
* **Complete translation content** with timestamps

**What Doesn't Get Saved:**
* **Failed translations** due to errors
* **Canceled processes** before completion
* **Incomplete translation attempts**

## II. Viewing Your Translation History

Navigate "**Content Translation" menu in Transcy → Choose the default market or specific-market and target language → Edit translation (pencil)** the resources you want to edit **→** click into your target translation box **→** on the bottom right corner of the box, click on "**three dot**" **→** "**Translation history**"

**Each Version Shows:**
* **Translation Tool:** Which engine was used (OpenAI, Baidu, Google, etc.)
* **Timestamp:** Exact date and time of completion (e.g., 05/03/2025, 14:30)

## III. Backup Storage by Plan

Your backup storage automatically adjusts based on your **Transcy** plan:

**Local Plus Plan:**
* **Current version** + **1 backup version**

**Regional Plan:**
* **Current version** + **2 backup versions**

**Continental Plan:**
* **Current version** + **3 backup versions**

**Cross-Border Plan:**
* **Current version** + 5 **backup versions**

**Global Plan:**
* **Current version** + **10 backup versions**

**Example Storage Flow:**
→ **Day 1:** Create Version 1 (saved as backup)  
→ **Day 2:** Create Version 2 (both V1 and V2 saved)  
→ **Day 5:** Create Version 4 (V1 deleted, keeping V2, V3, V4)  
→ **Day 6:** Translation error occurs (no new backup created)

## IV. Reverting to Previous Translations

Easily restore any previous translation version with the **Revert** function:
Navigate "**Content Translation" menu in Transcy → Choose the default market or specific-market and target language → Edit translation (pencil)** the resources you want to edit **→** click into your target translation box **→** on the bottom right corner of the box, click on "**three dot**" **→** "**Translation history**"

**How Revert Works:**
→ **Select the version** you want to restore  
→ **Click "Use this version"** in the Translation History  
→ **Chosen version becomes current** translation  
→ **Previous current version** moves to backup history

**Example Revert Process:**
If you have versions V1, V2, V3 in history and V4 as current:
* **Choose Revert V2**
* **V2 becomes your current** translation
* **History updates to:** V4, V3, V1 (in chronological order)
* **Your usage quota** remains unchanged

## V. Important Scenarios

### 1. External App Overwrites

**Protection Against Third-Party Changes:**
When external apps (like Translate&Adapt) sync translations to **Transcy**:

→ **Current translation automatically backed up** before overwrite  
→ **External translation becomes current** version  
→ **Your original work remains safe** in backup history  
→ **Easy restoration** if you prefer your previous version

### 2. Plan Changes

**Downgrading Your Plan:**
When you downgrade (e.g., Cross-Border to Regional):
* **Excess backups are removed** (oldest versions deleted first)
* **Most recent backups preserved** according to new plan limits
* **Current version always protected**

**Example:** Cross-Border (5 backups) → Regional (2 backups)
* **Keeps:** Current + 2 most recent backups
* **Removes:** Oldest backup version

### 3. App Uninstallation

**Data Retention Policy:**
* **90-day storage** after app removal
* **Full recovery possible** within retention period
* **Complete translation history** preserved during grace period
