Crowdin Github Actions

This repository holds all of our tooling for the Crowdin integration. This allows us to manage multiple repositories and projects without having to duplicate tooling, and maintain a single source of truth for the configuration objects.

Required Environment Variables

The following environment variables are required to be set in order to run the actions, regardless of which plugin is chosen.

CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN, CROWDIN_API_URL, PROJECT_ID, and PLUGIN. Note that PLUGIN should match one of the options below.

Plugins

The action is designed to be modular, with multiple plugins to choose from for each step. The plugins and environment variables are as follows:

Plugin	Description	Environment Variables
check-paths	Prints the current process directory and contents. See File Structure	none
commit-changes	This plugin creates a commit with all changed files, except for the crowdin-config.yml.	GH_USERNAME, GH_EMAIL, GH_BRANCH, GH_MESSAGE
convert-chinese	This plugin copies the Simplified Chinese translations to Traditional Chinese. The file path should be /some/folders/chinese, and the result will be /some/folders/chinese-traditional. Note that FILE_PATHS should be a stringified array, as GitHub yaml doesn't accept array values: '["curriculum/challenges/chinese", "curriculum/dictionaries/chinese"]'. Set USE_LANG_CODES to true to do zh -> zh-TW instead.	FILE_PATHS, USE_LANG_CODE
generate-config	This looks at the PROJECT_NAME value and finds the matching configuration file in /src/configs, then copies it to the current directory as crowdin-config.yml.	PROJECT_NAME
hide-curriculum-strings	This plugin runs through all of the strings in the specified project and hides them if they meet specific conditions.	none
hide-renpy-strings	This plugin runs through all of the strings in the specified project and hides them if they meet specific conditions.	none
hide-string	Looks for a specific string in a specific file and marks it as hidden.	FILE_NAME, STRING_CONTENT
pull-request	Creates a pull request from the specified branch and targets the specified base, or main by default.	GH_TOKEN, BRANCH, REPOSITORY, BASE, TITLE, BODY
remove-deleted-files	This will recursively walk through the FILE_PATHS directories and remove any files from Crowdin that are no longer present in the repo. Note that FILE_PATHS should be a stringified array, as GitHub yaml doesn't accept array values: '["curriculum/challenges/english", "curriculum/dictionaries/english"]'	FILE_PATHS
unhide-string	Looks for a specific string in a specific file and marks it as visible.	FILE_NAME, STRING_CONTENT

Refer to action.yml for more information on the environment variables.

Example Usage

Here is an example step in an action file which uses this package:

- name: Generate Crowdin Config
  uses: nhcarrigan/crowdin-action@main
  env:
    CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN }}
    CROWDIN_API_URL: "https://nhcarrigan.crowdin.com/api/v2/"
    CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID: ${{ secrets.CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID_CURRICULUM }}
    PLUGIN: "generate-config"
    PROJECT_NAME: "client"

Making Changes

Any PR that is submitted to make changes to the action code (within src) must also include the distribution build. You can generate the distribution build by running npm run package, which will bundle all of the code into a single file and save it as /dist/index.js. The actions runner relies on this file to avoid having to install dependencies.
