Ignore 0% translated languages when downloading

[tasomaniac]

I can easily create mapping for translations.

We are a open source community project. In case people come and help for translation, we have some languages open in our crowdin page. Couple of them have 0% translation.

I want to ignore them when I am downloading from crowd-in. As far as I understand, it is impossible right now.

Yes, sorry - currently there is no possibility to export languages with at least 1 translation. As a solution, you can activate the "Skip untranslated strings" option in the project settings, then trim nearly empty languages on your side (I believe that languages without any translations will always have the same size in bytes).

I cannot use skip untranslated strings because I need to have all the string keys for all languages.

What about having exclude parameters in crowdin.yaml file. I can provide those manually and then crowdin-cli can skip them.

Hi, we also need this feature for our project. Is it possible to select a specific language using the crowdin-cli ?

I know it's possible using the following rest api

GET https://api.crowdin.com/api/project/{project-identifier}/download/{package}.zip?key={project-key}

where package is the language code.

Thanks !

@rbioteau yes

crowdin-cli download -l <language_code>

Great ! Thank you.

That's a great tip. Does it accept multiple language codes? We could put all the languages that we support. If not we could have a script calling it one by one.

Unfortunately, you can't because Crowdin API does not support this. But all contains only languages that are configured in the project. Of course, you can download each language separately. But I think the preferred way is to download all and leave only the necessary translations.

[tasomaniac]

That's true but it has started to be cumbersome. I run the script and remove unnecessary files which has 0 translation. Instead I would prefer just 1 script and nothing else.

The reason that we have languages with 0 translation is that we are keeping them in case somebody grant and translates in the future. I guess that's how most open source/volunteer projects use it.

I guess ideally there should be an option not to download files with 0 translation.

I updated the title to indicate my problem more clearly. :)

I think you should ask Crowdin support is if possible to have this thing in the future. Maybe @Andrulko can answer?
