Prerequisities
- Your Node.js app must be prepared for localization (see Node.js i18n docs)
- Project in Lokalise (you will need Project ID from project settings)
- Read/write API token (generate one under your Personal profile)
- Installed Lokalise CLI tool
- To run Lokalise CLI tool from NodeJS, you will need to use the child_process.execFile API.
Uploading to Lokalise
Once your app is prepared for localization, it should contain source language (we assume it's English) locale directory. e.g. myapp/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/default.po . Upload this file to Lokalise using CLI tool:
$ lokalise --token <token> import <project_id> --lang_iso en --file myapp/locales/en.json
Downloading from Lokalise
As the translators are done you need to download the language files from Lokalise:
$ lokalise --token <token> export <project_id> --type json --bundle_structure '%LANG_ISO%.json' --unzip_to myapp/locales/
