Well, I have a list of string (about 180 long) and I want to create a term for each of them, so is it possible to loop through this list and create a term for each of them, and then I can simply click translate all and be done instead of having to click add ---> write the term name 180 times.
of course, I will use a custom inspector to run the function that will loop the list and add the terms, I know how to do all that I only need to what is the function for adding terms.

I hope it's clear.

Thanks,

Hi,
You can use the LanguageSource.AddTerm function

Here is an example of creating 100 terms:
var source = LocalizationManager.Sources[0];

for (int i=0; i<100; ++i)
{
     var termData = source.AddTerm( "TermName"+i, eTermType.Text, false );
     termData.Languages[0] = "Translation for language "+i;
}

source.UpdateDictionary();
EditorUtility.SetDirty(source);
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();

Hope that helps,
frank

Also,

termData.Languages[] is the array with all the translations.
If you English language is the first one in the LanguageSource, you are free to use Languages[0] = xxx as in the example above.

If you want to make the tool more robust and support other languages,etc, you can use:
var termData = source.AddTerm( "TermName", eTermType.Text, false );

var englishIdx = source.GetLanguageIndex("English");
termData.Languages[englishIdx] = "Whatever";
