Automate localization tasks with Go Task and Crowdin CLI

Task is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than other alternatives.

Since it's written in Go, Task is just a single binary and has no other dependencies, which means you don't need to mess with any complicated install setups just to use a build tool.

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

Task can be connected with Crowdin through the Crowdin CLI.

Once installed, you just need to describe your build tasks using a simple YAML schema in a file called Taskfile.yml. For example, here is a simple example for Docusaurus project:

version: "3"

tasks:
    yarn:install:
    desc: Setup Docusaurus locally
    cmds:
      - yarn install
    sources:
      - package.json
      - yarn.lock

  crowdin:push:
    desc: Upload source files to a Crowdin project
    deps: [yarn:install]
    cmds:
      - npx crowdin push

  crowdin:pull:
    desc: Download latest translations from Crowdin
    deps: [yarn:install]
    cmds:
      - npx crowdin pull

Then call it by running task crowdin:push and task crowdin:pull.

Under the hood it uses the Crowdin CLI, so you will also need a Configuration File inside your project.
