Crowdin CLI uses a configuration file that contains a description of the resources to manage: files to be uploaded into Crowdin Enterprise and the locations of the corresponding translations.
Per usare la CLI di Crowdin, dovresti prima generare il tuo file di configurazione e poi eseguire lo strumento. Di default, Crowdin CLI cerca un file di configurazione chiamato crowdin.yml (quindi non devi specificare il nome del file a meno che sia differente da crowdin.yml).
To create the configuration file, run the following command:
$ crowdin initA valid Crowdin CLI configuration file has the following structure, so please make sure that you fill out all the needed information:
A typical configuration file looks similar to the following:
"project_id": "projectId" #open project and go to Integrations > Command line tool (CLI)
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open project and go to Integrations > Command line tool (CLI)
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"base_url": "https://{organization-name}.crowdin.com"
"files": [
{
"source": "/locale/en/folder1/[0-2].txt", #source files filter
"translation": "/locale/%two_letters_code%/folder1/%original_file_name%" #where translations are stored
},
{
"source": "/locale/en/folder2/[0-2].txt",
"translation": "/locale/%two_letters_code%/folder2/%original_file_name%"
}
]
To run the above configuration file and upload source files to Crowdin Enterprise:
$ crowdin upload sourcesGet translations from Crowdin Enterprise and put them in the right locations:
$ crowdin downloadPotresti caricare le Credenziali API da un ambiente variabile, per esempio:
"project_id_env": "CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID"
"api_token_env": "CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN"
"base_path_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_PATH"
"base_url_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_URL"
Se misti, api_token e project_id sono di priorità:
"project_id_env": "CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID" # Low priority
"api_token_env": "CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN" # Low priority
"base_path_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_PATH" # Low priority
"base_url_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_PATH" # Low priority
"project_id": "projectId" # High priority
"api_token": "personal-access-token" # High priority
"base_path": "/project-base-path" # High priority
"base_url": "https://{organization-name}.crowdin.com" # High priority
Il file crowdin.yml contiene una descrizione delle risorse da gestire e delle credenziali API (project_id, api_token, base_path, base_url). It means that it’s unsafe to commit this file into the code repository because the API key would be accessible to other users. Crowdin CLI supports two types of configuration files:
If you need to run a command with user-specific credentials (for example, upload sources), run the following command:
$ crowdin upload sources --identity 'path-to-user-credentials-file'But if user-specific credentials file residing in $HOME/.crowdin.yml you can run:
$ crowdin upload sourcesLa configurazione campione fornita sopra ha attributi di risorsa e traduzione contenenti wildcard standard (anche note come globbing patterns) per rendere più facile lavorare con file multipli.
Ecco i pattern che puoi usare:
* (asterisco)
Represents any character in the file or directory name. If you specify a “*.json” it will include all files like “messages.json”, “about_us.json”, and anything that ends with “.json”.
** (asterisco doppio)
Corrispondi ricorsivamente ogni stringa (includendo le sub-directory). Nota che puoi usare ** sia nei modelli di traduzione che in quelli di origine. When using ** in the translation pattern, it will always contain a sub-path from the source for a certain file. For example, you can use source: ‘/en/**/*.po’ to upload all *.po files to Crowdin Enterprise recursively. Il modello di traduzione sarà ‘/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%’.
? (punto interrogativo)
Corrisponde ad ogni carattere singolo.
[set]
Abbina ogni carattere singolo in una serie. Si comporta esattamente come i set di caratteri in Regexp, incluso il set di negazione ([^a-z]).
\ (backslash)
Esce dal prossimo metacarattere.
La CLI di Crowdin consente di usare i seguenti segnaposto per mettere le variabili appropriate nel nome file risultante:
| Nome | Descrizione |
|---|---|
| %original_file_name% | Nome file originale |
| %original_path% | Take parent folders names in Crowdin Enterprise project to build file path in the resulted bundle |
| %file_extension% | Estensione file originale |
| %file_name% | Nome file senza estensione |
| %language% | Nome della lingua (es. Ucraino) |
| %two_letters_code% | Codice linguistico ISO 639-1 (es., uk) |
| %three_letters_code% | Codice linguistico ISO 639-2/T (es., ukr) |
| %locale% | Locale (es., uk-UA) |
| %locale_with_underscore% | Locale (es., uk_UA) |
| %android_code% | Identificatore Locale Android usato per denominare le directory "values-" |
| %osx_code% | Identificatore Locale OS X usato per denominare le directory ".lproj" |
| %osx_locale% | OS X locale used to name translation resources (e.g., uk, zh-Hans, zh_HK) |
Puoi anche definire il percorso per file nell’archivio risultante mettendo uno slash (/) all’inizio del pattern.
La tua opzione di traduzione può sembrare come: “/locale/%two_letters_code%/LC_MESSAGES/%original_file_name%”.
Struttura dei file e directory sulla macchina locale:
- base_path | |-- folder | | | |-- 1.xml | |-- 1.txt | |-- 123.txt | |-- 123_test.txt | |-- a.txt | |-- a1.txt | |-- crowdin?test.txt | |-- crowdin_test.txt | |-- 1.xml |-- 1.txt |-- 123.txt |-- 123_test.txt |-- a.txt |-- a1.txt |-- crowdin?test.txt |-- crowdin_test.txt |-- 3.txt
Esempio 1. Uso delle wildcard nel percorso d’origine:
#........la tua configurazione progetto........
"files": [
{
"source": "/**/?[0-9].txt", #upload a1.txt, folder/a1.txt
"translation": "/**/%two_letters_code%_%original_file_name%"
},
{
"source": "/**/*\\?*.txt", #upload crowdin?test.txt, folder/crowdin?test.txt
"translation": "/**/%two_letters_code%_%original_file_name%"
},
{
"source": "/**/[^0-2].txt", #upload 3.txt, folder/3.txt, a.txt, folder/a.txt (ignore 1.txt, folder/1.txt)
"translation": "/**/%two_letters_code%_%original_file_name%"
}
]
Esempio 2. Uso di wildcard per ignorare i file:
#........la tua configurazione progetto........
"files": [
{
"source": "/**/*.*", #upload all files that the base_path contains
"translation": "/**/%two_letters_code%_%original_file_name%",
"ignore": [
"/**/%two_letters_code%_%original_file_name%", #ignore the translated files
"/**/?.txt", #ignore 1.txt, a.txt, folder/1.txt, folder/a.txt
"/**/[0-9].txt", #ignore 1.txt, folder/1.txt
"/**/*\\?*.txt", #ignore crowdin?test.txt, folder/crowdin?test.txt
"/**/[0-9][0-9][0-9].txt", #ignore 123.txt , folder/123.txt
"/**/[0-9]*_*.txt" #ignore 123_test.txt, folder/123_test.txt
]
}
]
Spesso i progetti di software hanno nomi personalizzati per le directory locali. Crowdin Impresa ti consente di mappare le tue lingue per essere riconoscibile nei tuoi progetti.
Diciamo che le tue directory locali sono denominate ‘en’, ‘uk’, ‘fr’, ‘de’. Tutti loro possono essere rappresentato dal segnaposto %two_letters_code%. Ancora, hai una directory denominata ‘zh_CH’. To make it work with Crowdin Enterprise without changes in your project, you can set up Language Mapping. Puoi anche sovrascrivere i codici lingua per altri segnaposto come %android_code%, %locale%, etc.
You can set up Language Mapping either via the user interface (UI) or by adding a languages_mapping section to your file set. We recommend setting up a language mapping via UI since it eliminates the need for duplicating the languages_mapping parameter for each file filter, but of course, you can choose the option that works best for you.
To set up Language Mapping via UI, follow these steps:
To set up Language Mapping in your configuration file, add the languages_mapping section to your file set as shown below.
Sample configuration:
"files": [
{
"source" : "/locale/en/**/*.po",
"translation" : "/locale/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%",
"languages_mapping" : {
"two_letters_code" : {
"uk" : "ukr",
"pl" : "pol"
}
}
}
]
Mapping format is the following: “crowdin_language_code” : “code_you_use”. Check the full list of Crowdin Enterprise language codes that can be used for mapping.
Se devi rinominare un file con traduzioni dopo l’esportazione, puoi facilmente farlo con l’aiuto del parametro translation_replsce.
For example, if the file is named “en_strings.po”, it can be renamed to “strings.po”. Per questo, aggiungi un nuovo parametro (allo stesso livello del parametro traduzione) al file di configurazione (crowdin.yml):
"files": [
{
"source": "/locale/**/en_*.po",
"translation": "/locale/**/%two_letters_code%_%original_file_name%",
"translation_replace": {
"en_": ""
}
}
]
In this case, “_en” will be erased from the file name.
From time to time, there are files and directories you don’t need to translate in Crowdin Enterprise. In tali casi, le regole dei file locali possono essere aggiunte al file di configurazione nel tuo profilo.
"files": [
{
"source": "/**/*.properties",
"translation": "/**/%file_name%_%two_letters_code%.%file_extension%",
"ignore": [
"/test/file.properties",
"/example.properties"
]
},
{
"source": "/locale/en/**/*.po",
"translation": "/locale/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%",
"ignore": [
"/locale/en/templates",
"/locale/en/workflow"
]
}
]
By default, the source files are available for translation into all target languages of the project. If some source files shouldn’t be translated into specific target languages, you can exclude them with the help of the parameter excluded_target_languages.
Esempio file di configurazione:
"files": [
{
"source": "/resources/en/*.json",
"translation": "/resources/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%",
"excluded_target_languages": [
"uk",
"fr"
]
}
]
If a CSV or XLS/XLSX file contains the translations for all target languages, you should specify appropriate language codes in the scheme.
Esempio file CSV:
identifier,source_phrase,context,Ukrainian,Russian,French ident1,Source 1,Context 1,,, ident2,Source 2,Context 2,,, ident3,Source 3,Context 3,,,Esempio file di configurazione:
"files": [
{
"source": "multicolumn.csv",
"translation": "multicolumn.csv",
"first_line_contains_header": true,
"scheme": "identifier,source_phrase,context,uk,ru,fr"
}
]
If your CSV or XLS/XLSX file contains columns that should be skipped on import, use none for such columns in the scheme, for example:
"scheme" : "identifier,source_phrase,context,uk,none,ru,none,fr"
To form the scheme for your CSV or XLS/XLSX file, use the following constants:
identifier – Column contains string identifiers.
source_phrase – Column contains source strings.
source_or_translation – Column contains source strings, but the same column will be filled with translations when the file is exported. When uploading existing translations, the values from this column will be used as translations.
translation – Column contains translations.
context – Column contains comments or context information for the source strings.
max_length – Column contains max.length limit values for the translations of the strings.
labels – Column contains labels for the source strings.
none – Column that will be skipped on import.
"preserve_hierarchy": true
Example of the configuration file using the preserve_hierarchy option:
"project_id": "projectId" #open project and go to Integrations > Command line tool (CLI)
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open project and go to Integrations > Command line tool (CLI)
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"base_url": "https://{organization-name}.crowdin.com"
"preserve_hierarchy": true
"files": [
{
"source": "/locale/en/**/*.po",
"translation": "/locale/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%"
}
]
By default, directories that do not contain any files for translation will not be created in Crowdin Enterprise. Per esempio:
- locale | |--it | |-- foo.po |-- bar.po
By default, project files will be represented in Crowdin Enterprise as following:
- foo.po
- bar.po
Using the option preserve_hierarchy, the file structure in Crowdin Enterprise will be the following:
- it | |-- foo.po |-- bar.po
This feature adds support for two optional parameters in the yml file section: dest and type. It’s typically used for projects where the uploaded name must be different so that Crowdin Enterprise can detect the type correctly.
The dest parameter allows you to specify a file name in Crowdin Enterprise. It works for multiple files at once and supports the following placeholders: %original_file_name%, %original_path%, %file_extension%, %file_name%.
dest parameter, the configuration file should include the preserve_hierarchy parameter with the true value.Esempio del file di configurazione con entrambi i parametri:
"project_id": "projectId" #open project and go to Integrations > Command line tool (CLI)

"dest": "/%original_path%/%file_name%.properties",
"translation": "/conf/**/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%",
"type": "properties"
}
]
Il parametro update_option è facoltativo. Se non è configurato, le traduzioni per le stringhe modificate saranno perse. Utile per le correzioni di errori di ortografia e per modifiche minori nelle stringhe d’origine.
In base al valore, update_option è usato per preservare traduzioni e preservare/rimuovere validazioni di stringhe modificate durante il caricamento del file.
I valori sono:

To configure the preferred export behavior for each file group, you may use the following export options:
skip_untranslated_strings – Only translated strings will be included in the exported translation files.
skip_untranslated_files – Only translated files will be included in the exported translation archive.
export_only_approved – Only texts that are both translated and approved will be included in the exported translation files.

Le integrazioni VCS richiedono lo stesso file di configurazione dello strumento CLI, quindi la stessa struttura è supportata. The only difference is that you should not store the project credentials in the file header for security reasons. Also, you can use a few additional parameters.
The default pull request title is New Crowdin updates. To specify your custom pull request title and add labels to the pull request, you can use the following parameters in the configuration file: pull_request_title, pull_request_labels.
Esempio:
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"pull_request_title": "Custom PR title"
"pull_request_labels": [
"crowdin",
"l10n"
]
"files": [
{
"source" : "/resources/en/*.json",
"translation" : "/resources/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%"
}
]
Each time translations are committed the default message is shown “New translations {fileName} ({languageName})”. You can use the commit_message parameter to add Git tags (e.g., to skip builds).
Esempio:
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"commit_message": "[ci skip]"
"files": [
{
"source" : "/resources/en/*.json",
"translation" : "/resources/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%"
}
]
To replace the default commit message, use the append_commit_message parameter with the value false. Puoi anche aggiungere due segnaposto opzionali: %original_file_name% e %language% per usare il nome file appropriato e le variabili lingua di conseguenza.
Esempio:
"commit_message": "Fix: New translations %original_file_name% from Crowdin Enterprise"
"append_commit_message": false
"files": [
{
"source" : "/resources/en/*.json",
"translation" : "/resources/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%"
}
]
By default, all the languages are exported. If you need to export some specific languages, use the export_languages parameter to specify them.
Esempio:
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"export_languages": [
"ru",
"uk",
"ja"
]
"files": [
{
"source" : "/resources/en/*.json",
"translation" : "/resources/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%"
}
]
To add existing or new labels to the source strings, use the labels parameter. Labels will be added to the source strings only during the initial upload to the Crowdin Enterprise project.
The strings uploaded to the Crowdin Enterprise project before the use of the labels parameter won’t be labeled. If you remove the label added during the initial upload directly in Crowdin Enterprise, it won’t be re-added on the next syncs.
The label names can contain any characters except “,”.
Esempio:
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"files": [
{
"source" : "/resources/en/*.json",
"translation" : "/resources/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%",
"labels" : [
"android",
"emails"
]
}
]

There are cases when it’s necessary to use VCS integration and CLI for one project. Mostly, in this kind of situation, you’d need to have two separate configuration files, one for VCS integration and another for CLI. However, there is a possibility to use a single configuration file for both cases.
Since the VCS integration configuration file doesn’t contain project_id and api_token credentials required for CLI, you can pass them directly in the command using the following parameters: -i/--project-id, -T/--token. Alternatively, you may use environment variables for this purpose.
As a result, your command for downloading translations via CLI will look like the following:
$ crowdin download -i {your-project-id} -T {your-token}Need help working with Crowdin CLI or have any questions? Contact Support Team.
