Use this module to add support of new custom file formats. It’s implemented by delegating a source file parsing to an app with a custom file format module. When translations are completed, Crowdin passes an array with translations to the Custom file format app that generates the translation files. This module is available to project members with manager permissions (or higher).
Custom File Format module structure:
{
"custom-file-format": [
{
"key": "your-module-key-type-xyz",
"type": "type-xyz",
"url": "/process",
"multilingual": true,
"signaturePatterns": {
"fileName": "^.+\\.xyz$",
"fileContent": "<properties>\\s*<property\\s+name=.*value=.*/>"
}
}
]
}
Tulajdonságok:
key | Típus: Szükséges: igen Leírás: A Crowdin alkalmazáson belül a modul azonosítója. |
type | Típus: Szükséges: igen Description: The custom file format identifier. Can be used in API to force the processing of the files by the Custom file format app. If the |
url | Típus: Szükséges: igen Description: The relative URL triggered on file import, update, translation upload, and export. |
multilingual | Type: Required: no Allowed values: Description: This parameter is used to combine the content of multiple languages into one request when uploading and downloading translations in your Crowdin project. |
signaturePatterns | Típus: Description: Contains Note: fileContent regular expression checks only the first 64 KB of the file content. |
On the initial file import, the system detects custom file format using the signaturePatterns or type parameters and makes an HTTP request to the app’s URL ($baseUrl . $url) for further processing. Then app processes the file in a custom format and responds to the system. The requests and responses to and from the custom file format apps have two-minute timeouts. The maximum request and response payload size is limited to 5 MB.

// max request payload - 5 MB
// wait timeout - 2 minutes
