Google Ads Automation Part 3: Upload Translated Campaigns

In our three-part series on automating Google Ads translations, we’ve already covered exporting your campaigns as a CSV (Part 1) and using Python with OpenAI to translate your ad content (Part 2). In this final installment, we’ll walk you through the process of uploading your translated campaign back into your Google Ads account using Google Ads Editor.

Introduction
Localizing your Google Ads campaigns can dramatically boost your reach in new markets. By automating translations, you save time and ensure consistency across languages. In this post, you’ll learn how to seamlessly import your translated campaign CSV into Google Ads Editor, review your changes, and post the updates live to your account.

Step-by-Step Guide to Uploading Translated Campaigns

1. Open Google Ads Editor

  • Launch the Editor:
    Open Google Ads Editor on your computer. If you haven’t installed it yet, download it from the Google Ads Editor download page (link provided in the video description).

  • Sign In:
    Make sure you’re signed in with the appropriate Google Ads account. If you manage multiple accounts, verify that you select the correct one before proceeding.

2. Import Your Translated Campaign CSV

  • Navigate to the Import Menu:
    Once you’re in Google Ads Editor, click on the account menu and select “Import” then choose “From file.”

  • Select Your CSV File:
    Locate the CSV file containing your translated campaign data and select it.

  • Finish the Import Process:
    Click “Finish” to let Google Ads Editor process the file. You will see a preview of the imported changes.

3. Review the Changes

  • Check Critical Elements:
    Examine the preview to ensure that all translated elements—such as headlines, descriptions, display paths, keywords, language targeting, strategy, budget, and location settings—are correct.

  • Adjust if Necessary:
    Make sure that the translations read naturally and conform to Google Ads character limits. This step is crucial for maintaining ad quality and compliance.

4. Finalize and Post Your Campaign

  • Accept the Changes:
    If everything looks good, click “Keep All” to accept the imported changes.

  • Post the Updates:
    Finally, click “Post” to upload the changes to your live Google Ads account. Your translated campaign will now be active.

5. Verify the Live Campaign

  • Confirm in Google Ads:
    Log in to your Google Ads account and verify that your campaign (for example, a marketing-to-HVAC campaign) is live. Double-check that all settings and translations appear correctly.

 

Conclusion

Uploading your translated campaign using Google Ads Editor is the final step in automating your Google Ads localization process. With your translated CSV file now imported and live, you’re ready to engage a broader, multilingual audience and boost your campaign performance globally.
