Automate localization with Bitbucket Pipelines and Crowdin CLI

Use Bitbucket Pipelines with Crowdin CLI to automate your frequent localization tasks such as uploading source files, downloading translations or anything else you can do with Crowdin CLI.

Bitbucket Pipelines is a framework that lets you configure and perform specific operations on your repositories every time you push code to the source. We can run tests, builds, move code, or restart processes, as well as synchronize localization resources between repo and Crowdin project.

Preparing the repository

Push the crowdin.yml configuration file to the repository.

Use Environment Variables for API Credentials:

"project_id_env": "CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID"
"api_token_env": "CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN"

See the Variables and secrets to learn more about defining variables in Bitbucket Pipelines.

Pipeline configuration

You need to set up the bitbucket-pipelines.yml configuration file (or extend the existing one):

image: node:20

pipelines:
  custom:
    crowdin:
      - step:
          trigger: automatic
          script:
            - echo $CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID
            - echo $CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN
            - npm install -g @crowdin/cli
            - crowdin push
