The GitHub Crowdin Action allows you to easily integrate the localization of your Crowdin project into the workflow you’ve set up on your repo with help of GitHub Actions. Using GitHub Crowdin Action, you can automate the synchronization of localization resources with your Crowdin project.
What does this action do?
Set up a workflow in .github/workflows/crowdin.yml (or add a job to your existing workflows).
Read the Configuring a workflow article for more details on how to create and set up custom workflows.

branches: [ master ]

The default action is to upload sources. Though, you can set different actions through the with options. If you don’t want to upload your sources to Crowdin, just set the upload_sources option to false.
By default sources and translations are being uploaded to the root of your Crowdin project. Still, if you use branches, you can set the preferred source branch.
You can also specify what GitHub branch you’d like to download your translations to (default translation branch is l10n_crowdin_action).
In case you don’t want to download translations from Crowdin (download_translations: false), localization_branch_name and create_pull_request options aren’t required either.

# See "API v2" on https://crowdin.com/project/<your-project>/settings#api
project_id: $
# A personal access token, not to be confused with Crowdin API v1 "API key"
# See https://crowdin.com/settings#api-key to generate a token

source: '/path/to/your/file'
translation: 'file/export/pattern'
base_url: 'https://crowdin.com'
base_path: '/project-base-path'
For more detailed descriptions of these options, see action.yml.
If your workflow file contains the config property, you’ll need to add the following to your Crowdin configuration file (e.g. crowdin.yml):
project_id_env: CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID
api_token_env: CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN
When the workflow runs, the real values of your token and project ID will be injected into the config using the secrets in the environment.
