Crowdin CLI uses a configuration file that contains a description of the resources to manage: files to be uploaded into Crowdin and the locations of the corresponding translations.
Чтобы использовать Crowdin CLI, вы должны сначала сгенерировать файл конфигурации, а затем запустить инструмент. По умолчанию Crowdin CLI ищет файл конфигурации с именем crowdin.yml (поэтому вам не нужно указывать имя файла, если оно не отличается от 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 settings and go to API section
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open profile settings and go to API > New Token > create Token
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"base_url": "https://api.crowdin.com"
"preserve_hierarchy": true
"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%"
}
]
Чтобы запустить этот файл конфигурации и загрузить исходные файлы на Crowdin, стоит всего лишь выполнить команду:
$ crowdin upload sourcesGet translations from Crowdin and put them in the right locations:
$ crowdin downloadВы можете загрузить учетные данные API из переменной окружения, например:
"project_id_env": "CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID"
"api_token_env": "CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN"
"base_path_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_PATH"
"base_url_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_URL"
If mixed, api_token and project_id are prioritized:
"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://crowdin.com" # High priority
The crowdin.yml file contains a description of the resources to manage and API credentials (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 sourcesПриведенный выше пример конфигурации имеет атрибуты ‘source’ и ‘translation’, которые содержат стандартные постановочные знаки (также известные как универсальные шаблоны) для упрощения работы с несколькими файлами.
Вот шаблоны, которые вы можете использовать:
* (asterisk)
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”.
** (doubled asterisk)
Совпадает с любой строчкой рекурсивно (включая подпапки). Note that you can use ** in both source and translation patterns. 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 recursively. The translation pattern will be ‘/%two_letters_code%/**/%original_file_name%’.
? (воспросительный знак)
Соответствует любому одному символу.
[set]
Matches any single character in a set. Behaves exactly like character sets in Regexp, including set negation ([^a-z]).
\ (Обратный слэш)
Экранирует следующий метасимвол.
В crowdin cli можно использовать следующие заполнители для внесения соответствующих переменных в результирующее имя файла:
| Название | Описание |
|---|---|
| %original_file_name% | Исходное имя файла |
| %original_path% | Take parent folders names in Crowdin project to build file path in the resulted bundle |
| %file_extension% | Исходное расширение файла |
| %file_name% | Имя файла без расширения |
| %language% | Language name (e.g., Ukrainian) |
| %two_letters_code% | Language code ISO 639-1 (e.g., uk) |
| %three_letters_code% | Language code ISO 639-2/T (e.g., ukr) |
| %locale% | Locale (e.g., uk-UA) |
| %locale_with_underscore% | Locale (e.g., uk_UA) |
| %android_code% | Идентификатор языка в Android используемый в названиях «values-» директорий |
| %osx_code% | Локаль OS X, используемая для названий *.lproj" директорий |
| %osx_locale% | OS X locale used to name translation resources (e.g., uk, zh-Hans, zh_HK) |
Вы также можете указать полный путь к файлам в архиве, поставив косую черту (/) в начале шаблона.
Шаблон translation может выглядеть следующим образом: “/locale/%two_letters_code%/LC_MESSAGES/%original_file_name%”.
Структура файлов и папок на локальном компьютере:
- 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
Example 1. Usage of wildcards in the source path:
#........конфигурация вашего проекта........
"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%"
}
]
Example 2. Usage of wildcards for ignoring files:
#........конфигурация вашего проекта........
"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
]
}
]
Часто программные проекты имеют собственные имена для каталогов локали. Crowdin allows you to map your own languages to be recognizable in your projects.
Предположим, папки с вашими локалями называются ‘en’, ‘uk’, ‘fr’, ‘de’. Все они могут быть представлены заполнителем %two_letters_code%. В то же время у вас имеется папка ‘zh_CH’. You can also override language codes for other placeholders like %android_code%, %locale%, etc.
To make it work with Crowdin without changes in your project, you can set up Language Mapping via UI.
To set up Language Mapping, follow these steps:
Если вам нужно переименовать файл с переводами после экспорта, это легко сделать с помощью параметра ` translation_replace`.
For example, if the file is named “en_strings.po”, it can be renamed to “strings.po”. Для этого добавьте новый параметр (на том же уровне, что и параметр перевода) в файл конфигурации (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. In such cases, local per-file rules can be added to the config file in your project.
"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.
Пример файла конфигурации:
"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.
Пример файла CSV:
identifier,source_phrase,context,Ukrainian,Russian,French ident1,Source 1,Context 1,,, ident2,Source 2,Context 2,,, ident3,Source 3,Context 3,,,Пример файла конфигурации:
"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 settings and go to API section
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open profile settings and go to API > New Token > create Token
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"base_url": "https://api.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. For example:
- locale | |-- en | |-- foo.po |-- bar.po
По умолчанию файлы проекта будут представлены в Crowdin следующим образом:
- foo.po
- bar.po
Using the option preserve_hierarchy, the file structure in Crowdin will be the following:
- en | |-- 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 can detect the type correctly.
Параметр Dest позволяет задать имя файла в Crowdin. 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.Пример конфигурационного файла с обоими параметрами:
"project_id": "projectId" #open project settings and go to API section
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open profile settings and go to API > New Token > create Token
"base_path": "/project-base-path"
"base_url": "https://api.crowdin.com"
"preserve_hierarchy": true
"files": [
{
"source": "/conf/**/*.txt",
"dest": "/conf/**/%file_name%.properties",
"translation": "/conf/**/%two_letters_code%/%file_name%.properties",
"type": "properties"
},
{
"source": "/app/*.txt",
"dest": "/app/%file_name%.xml",
"translation": "/res/values-%android_code%/%original_file_name%",
"type": "android"
},
{
"source": "/conf/**/*.txt",
"dest": "/%original_path%/%file_name%.properties",
"translation": "/conf/**/%two_letters_code%/%original_file_name%",
"type": "properties"
}
]
The parameter update_option is optional. If it is not set, translations for changed strings will be lost. Useful for typo fixes and minor changes in source strings.
В зависимости от значения update_option используется для сохранения переводов и сохранения/удаления утверждений переводов и изменённых строк во время обновления файла.
Используйте следующие значения:
Пример конфигурационного файла с использованием параметра update_option:</p>
"project_id": "projectId" #open project settings and go to API section
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open profile settings and go to API > New Token > create Token

},
{
"source": "/**/*.xlsx",
"translation": "/%three_letters_code%/folder/%file_name%.xlsx",
"update_option": "update_without_changes"
}
]
The command upload translations uploads existing translations to Crowdin. If no options are specified, the uploaded translations will not be imported even if they are equal to the source strings and will not be approved.

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.
Example of the configuration file with the export options:
"project_id": "projectId" #open project settings and go to API section
"api_token": "personal-access-token" #open profile settings and go to API > New Token > create Token

Определяет, будет ли одинарная кавычка экранирована другой одинарной кавычкой или обратным слешем в экспортированных переводах. You can add the escape_quotes per-file option. Acceptable values are 0, 1, 2, 3. Значение по умолчанию 3.
Используйте следующие значения:
Escape special characters
Defines whether any special characters (=, :, ! and #) should be escaped by a backslash in exported translations. You can add the escape_special_characters per-file option.
Acceptable values are 0, 1. Значение по умолчанию 1.

Интеграция VCS требует того же файла конфигурации, что и инструмент CLI, то есть поддерживается та же структура. 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.
Пример:
"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).
Пример:
"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. Вы также можете добавить два необязательных заполнителя: %original_file_name% и %language% чтобы использовать переменные имя файла и язык соответственно.
Пример:
"commit_message": "Fix: New translations %original_file_name% from Crowdin"
"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.
Пример:
"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 project.
The strings uploaded to the Crowdin 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, it won’t be re-added on the next syncs.
The label names can contain any characters except “,”.
Пример:
"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.
