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

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