Building Appsmith app

Please refer to the Apsmith knowledge base for a quick start guides.

Embedding Appsmith app into Crowdin

Crowdin apps should follow certain rules to be displaed in the UI. Therefore you should use an intermediate app that would transform Appsmith app into Crowdin app.

Use the following skeleton to transform Appsmith app URL into Crowdin app URL:

https://appsmith.app.crowdin.net/{appsmith-app-id}/{crowdin-module}/manifest.json

Where {appsmith-app-id} can be found in your Appsmith app URL, {crowdin-module} - is a module name of Crowdin (a descriptor of where the Crowdin app should live)

Check Crowdin App Modules to find the identifiers for the second variable.

Let's take, for example, project-tools module and build a final Crowdin App Manifest URL

https://appsmith.app.crowdin.net/61e13843eb0501052b9fad09/project-tools/manifest.json

Use this URL to install your app into Crowdin
