Konsolen-Client (CLI)

Crowdin CLI ist ein Kommandozeilenwerkzeug, mit dem Sie Lokalisierungsressourcen verwalten und mit Ihrem Crowdin-Projekt synchronisieren können:

• Automate the process of updating your source files in your Crowdin project
• Download translations from Crowdin and automatically save them in the correct locations
• Laden Sie alle Ihre vorhandenen Übersetzungen in wenigen Minuten auf Crowdin hoch.
• Integrate Crowdin with GIT, SVN, Mercurial, and more.

This is a cross-platform and it runs in a terminal on Linux based and macOS operating systems or in Command Prompt on Windows. It’s also open-source and it’s source code available at GitHub.

Anforderungen

Check that you have Java 8 or newer installed. Type java -version command in the terminal (Command Prompt on Windows) to check Java version. For example, java version “1.8.0_212” means that you have Java 8 Update 212 installed.

If you don’t have Java installed, download it from Oracle’s website.

Using Crowdin CLI with Proxy Server

Crowdin CLI provides a possibility to work with a proxy server. Each time you run a command, Crowdin CLI checks whether the operating system has the configured environment variables.

Supported environment variables:

HTTP_PROXY_HOST – the name or the IP address of the host at which the proxy server is located HTTP_PROXY_PORT – the port used by the proxy server for listening HTTP_PROXY_USER – the username used for authentication on a proxy server HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD – the password used for authentication on a proxy server

Running the App

Benutzen Sie die folgende Methode, um die App zu starten:

$ crowdin

Alternative Methode:

$ java -jar crowdin-cli.jar

Konfiguration

To use Crowdin CLI you need to have a configuration file. We recommend to name it crowdin.yml. You can create it running the command:

$ crowdin init

When calling Crowdin CLI in terminal you should be in your project root directory. Otherwise, you will have to specify a configuration file path using the --config option:

$ crowdin upload sources --config /path/to/your/config/file

Run crowdin help to get more details regarding other commands.

Sample configuration file:

"project_id": "projectId"                     #open project settings and go to API section 
"api_token": "personal-access-token"          #open profile settings and go to API & SSO > New Token > create Token
"base_path": "."                              #path to your project directory on a local machine
"base_url": "https://crowdin.com"
"preserve_hierarchy": true

"files": [
  {
      "source": "/en/**/*.json",                                          #source files filter
      "translation": "/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%"        #where translations are stored
  }
]

For more information on how to configure Crowdin CLI, read the Configuration File article.

Downloading Translations to a Target File

There is a possibility to download the latest translations from Crowdin to the specified target file (Android XML or iOS Strings) regardless of the source file format in Crowdin.

To download the latest translations from Crowdin to the target file:

$ crowdin download targets <name>

Konfiguration

Add the targets section to your crowdin.yml configuration file with the following structure:

targets: [
  {
    name: "android",
    files: [
      {
        file: "targets/%two_letters_code%/android.xml",
        sources: [
            "file.xlsx"
        ],
        labels: [
            "mobile",
            "ui"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

• name - the name of your target. Will be used for downloading specific targets.
• files - the section that describes the resulting files that appear in your system after the download. Each target supports the downloading of multiple files.
• file - the resulting file pattern. Currently, only Android XML (.xml) and iOS Strings (.strings) file formats are supported.
• sources - the source files in Crowdin, whose translations should be exported. Alternatively, you can specify either branches or directories.
• labels - Labels for the strings filtering (Optional).

As a result, the file.xlsx translations (filtered by labels mobile and ui) will be downloaded to targets/%two_letters_code%/android.xml file.

Downloading Pseudo-localization

There is a possibility to configure and download pseudo-localized translation files.

To download an archive with pseudo-localized translation files:

$ crowdin download --pseudo

Konfiguration

Add the pseudo_localization section to your crowdin.yml configuration file with the following structure:

pseudo_localization: {
  length_correction: 25,
  prefix: "",
  suffix: "",
  character_transformation: "cyrillic"
}
