Export/Import language translations on SharePoint
Hi,
First, the replace with translation under advanced options in language setup is something a bit different. It refers to whether if you later change the text in the base language of a UI element which has already has a translation, whether the translation should be wiped out. It is a choice between having the UI have translated text which is in the right language but one version behind or have it in the wrong language altogether.
Exporting will only export the user interface elements that are MUI-enabled. That includes names/titles and descriptions for: site,navigation node including hub navigation, list,column, content type, and list view, and a couple of other things for classic sites. If what you are missing is not one of these elements, then it won't be there. Every now and then something mysteriously is not exported when it should be. It's not 100% reliable, unfortunately.
