# Exporting a dictionary to CSV

The dictionary export mechanism allows you to download a given dictionary in CSV format. To do this, go to the module **Library**, then go to the tab **Dictionaries**.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The first row of the CSV file contains the column headers:

* key — the key identifying the dictionary element,
* pl — values in Polish for a given key (if we have other languages configured, they will appear as additional columns).
