Plugin for Visual Studio Code

Integrate your Visual Studio Code projects with Crowdin to optimize the localization process. Plugin allows uploading new source strings instantly to your Crowdin project and downloading translations.

Konfiguration

To work with this plugin in the VS Code workspace, there should be Crowdin configuration file called either crowdin.yml or crowdin.yaml.

Configuration file example:

"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": "/project-base-path"

"files": [
  { "source" : "/locale/en/folder1/*.xml",                                      #source files filter "translation" : "/locale/%two_letters_code%/folder1/%original_file_name%"   #where translations are stored },
  { "source" : "/locale/en/folder2/*.xml", "translation": "/locale/%two_letters_code%/folder2/%original_file_name%" } ]
