A Command-Line Interface to sync files between your computer/server and Crowdin.

It is cross-platform and runs in a terminal (Linux, MacOS X) or in cmd.exe (Windows).

WARNING: This is a development version: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'crowdin-cli'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install crowdin-cli

Configuration

Now that the tool in installed, you'll have to configure your project. Basically, crowdin-cli is to be run on a project directory, and looks for a crowdin.yaml file containing your project information.

Create a crowdin.yaml YAML file in your root project directory with the following structure:

---
project_idenfier: test
api_key: KeepTheAPIkeySecret
base_url: http://api.crowdin.net
base_path: /path/to/your/project

files:
  -
    source: /locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
    translation: /locale/%two_letters_code%/LC_MESSAGES/%original_file_name%
  • api_key - Crowdin Project API key
  • project_identifier - Crowdin project name
  • base_url - (default: http://api.crowdin.net)
  • base_path - defines what directory we have to scan(default: current directory)
  • files

    • source - defines only files we will upload as sources
    • translation - attribute defines where translations should be placed after downloading (also we have to check those path to detect and upload existing translations)

      Use the following placeholders to put appropriate variables into the resulting file name:

      • %language% - Language name (i.e. Ukrainian)
      • %two_letters_code% - Language code ISO 639-1 (i.e. uk)
      • %three_letters_code% - Language code ISO 639-2/T (i.e. ukr)
      • %locale% - Locale (like uk-UA)
      • %locale_with_underscore% - Locale (i.e. uk_UA)
      • %original_file_name% - Original file name
      • %android_code% - Android Locale identifier used to name "values-" directories
      • %original_path% - Take parent folders names in Crowdin project to build file path in resulted bundle
      • %file_extension% - Original file extension
      • %file_name% - File name without extension

      Example for Android projects:

        /values-%android_code%/%original_file_name%
      

      Example for Gettext projects:

        /locale/%two_letters_code%/LC_MESSAGES/%original_file_name%
      

Also you can add and upload all directories mathing the pattern including all nested files and localizable files.

Create a crowdin.yaml YAML file in your root project directory with the following structure:

---
project_identifier: test
api_key: KeepTheAPIkeySecret
base_url: http://api.crowdin.net
base_path: /path/to/your/project

files:
  -
    source: /locale/en/**/*.po
    translation: /locale/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%
