Hi @bakua!

It looks like some of your project's target languages are not supported by the specified MT engine. Please try to specify languages to pre-translate (-l parameter).

By default, the pre-translate command tries to pre-translate all target languages if not explicitly specified.

[bakua]

Thank you, but how do I know which languages are not supported please? When I run pretranslate via website then it translates all my languages via the same engine.

[andrii-bodnar]

Are all languages available during UI pretranslation with this engine?

[bakua]

Yes, I just checked manually and the list of my all languages matches the list of languages in the pre-translate dialog.

[andrii-bodnar]

@bakua thanks for the details! Could you please share your Crowdin Project ID for further investigation?

[bakua]

Sure, it is ID: 426420

[andrii-bodnar]

@bakua it seems like there is a problem with the "Apply Pre-Translation" API method. For some reason, it returns Bad Request error when used with your MT engine and specific set of target languages. Could you please Contact our Customer Success Team for further investigation?

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi! I'm facing the same issue. I'm running the pre-translation from a GitHub Action. My project ID is 702517.

      - name: Pre-translate
        uses: crowdin/github-action@v2
        with:
          command: 'pre-translate'
          command_args: `'--method mt --file cbuilder/src/intl/cbuilder.json --engine-id ### --verbose'`
        env:
          CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID: ${{ secrets.CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID }}
          CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN }}

I'm using the Crowdin translation machine. When I run '--method mt --file cbuilder/src/intl/cbuilder.json --engine-id ### --verbose' , I expect all my languages to be translated. Instead, I get the same error as @bakua.

If I pass the -l argument, it works well. However, I also have a problem with that because it expects the language ID, and I cannot use the pre-translation method with a different language code.

For example, I have added French to my project. I'm using the locale code to identify the languages. If I try to run: '--method mt -l fr-FR --file cbuilder/src/intl/cbuilder.json --engine-id ### --verbose' , I get ❌ Language(s) 'fr-FR' doesn't exist in the project. Try specifying another language code(s) but if I use the fr code, it works well.

When I use es-ES, it works like a charm because the Crowdin code for es-ES is the same.

So how can I deal with this? Do I need to map all my locales with the Crowdin codes to be able to use the pre-translation method?

#crowdin.yml
'project_id_env': 'CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID'
'api_token_env': 'CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN'
# "base_path_env": "CROWDIN_BASE_PATH"
'base_path': './src/intl'
'base_url': 'https://api.crowdin.com'

'preserve_hierarchy': true

files: [
      'source': '/cbuilder.json',
      'translation': '/dictionaries/%locale%.json',
      'dest': '/cbuilder/src/intl/cbuilder.json',
      'type': 'json',
]

HI @RodriSanchez1,

The crowdin pre-translate command (as well as any other CLI command) accepts only Crowdin Language Codes as the --language/-l parameter value.
