Hi. I think I lost the translation I had done from English to Italian, editing the files in English and uploading them via FTP. When I update the component, will I lose changes to the language files?
Thanks...

No, you will not, as we do not ship any Italian files ourselves. Upgrading only overwrites files that ship with the new version.

However, I overwrite the English language files that come with the component. When I update the extension, do I also update the language files?

I think it's best to save the translations in the Italian language files folder.

Remember, when we add or change features we have to add or change language strings as well. This always happens in the English files. The English files are the "master" copies; they should never be modified. Any modifications will definitely be overwritten
You need to copy the English files into the Italian (it-IT) language folder, then translate the files in the Italian folder. That's the only way to do it right.
