## Compatibility

- **Minimum n8n version:** 1.0.0
- **Tested with:** n8n 2.4.4

## Usage

### File-Based vs String-Based Projects

Crowdin supports two types of projects:

- **File-Based Projects:** Traditional localization workflow where you upload source files (JSON, XLIFF, Android XML, etc.) and download translated versions
- **String-Based Projects:** Content is managed as individual strings without file structure, ideal for web applications and dynamic content

Choose the appropriate node based on your project type.

### Crowdin vs Crowdin Enterprise

- **Crowdin (crowdin.com):** For individuals and teams using the standard Crowdin platform
- **Crowdin Enterprise:** For organizations with dedicated Crowdin Enterprise instances (custom domain: `{organization}.crowdin.com`)

### Example Workflow: Sync Translations

1. Add a **Crowdin Trigger** node to listen for `file.translated` events
2. Use the **Crowdin** node to build and download translations
3. Connect to your deployment pipeline or storage

### Using with AI Agents

All nodes in this package have `usableAsTool: true`, making them compatible with n8n's AI Agent nodes. You can use them as tools for AI-powered automation workflows.
