This tool is being used by ASF developers for synchronization of strings/translations between GitHub and Crowdin. If you're not ASF developer that has access to our localization platform, then you won't find anything interesting here.

Before you begin

Make sure that your crowdin_identity.yaml file exists - this is the file with login credentials that is not being committed to GitHub. If it doesn't exist yet (e.g. because you've just cloned the repo), create it from crowdin_identity_example.yaml and fill api_key that can be found here.
Ensure that crowdin command is recognized by your OS.

Windows

Install Java JDK.
Set JAVA_HOME properly.
Launch setup_crowdin.bat as administrator.
Open new cmd prompt and verify that crowdin help indeed works.

Usage

archi_download.bat for downloading translations from Crowdin (typically last commit before release).
archi_upload.bat for pushing strings to Crowdin (when any *Strings.resx file gets modified).
