Prerequisites

• Your Node.js app must be prepared for localization (see Node.js i18n docs).

• You'll need an existing Lokalise project. Specifically, you'll require the project ID that can be found in the project settings.

• A read/write Lokalise API token is required. Learn how to work with the API tokens in the corresponding article.

• The Lokalise CLI tool must be installed.

• To run the Lokalise CLI tool from NodeJS, you will need to use the child_process.execFile API.

Uploading to Lokalise

Upload your translation files to Lokalise:

$ lokalise2 \
 --token <token> \
 --project-id <project_id> \
 file upload \
 --file "myapp/locales/en.json" \
 --lang-iso en

Additional upload options can be found in the CLI docs.

Downloading from Lokalise

As the translators are done you need to download the language files from Lokalise:

$ lokalise2 \
 --token <token> \
 --project-id <project_id> \
 file download \
 --format json \
 --original-filenames=false \
 --bundle-structure "%LANG_ISO%.json" \
 --unzip-to "myapp/locales/"

Additional download options can be found in the CLI docs.
