The following examples show some more complex use cases:
Phrase Client Examples
Multiple localization files for one project
We strongly recommend to use one file for each locale in your project. If you are forced to use multiple files by your framework or tools, please refer to our Structuring localization files guide for details.
Multiple Phrase projects for one localization project
If you feel like management of all the translations of a big localization project in one Phrase project is too much and want to distribute those translations over multiple Phrase project, you can find instructions on how to configure your CLI for this at our guide’s Multiple localization files for one localization project section.
Using format options
Some file formats support advanced options (format options) to further control the syntax of the file. You can specify format options in your .phraseapp.ymlconfiguration file like this:
phraseapp:
pull:
targets:
- file: file.xml
params:
format_options:
convert_placeholder: true
push:
sources:
- file: file.csv
params:
format_options:
column_separator: ";"
All available format options are listed for each format in the format guide.
Configuration for Android projects
We recommend specifying each locale explicitly in the .phraseapp.yml. The following example shows how the .phraseapp.yml should look like with English as the default language, a German locale and a German region locale for Austrian:
phraseapp:
access_token: 930dfe3c2736d745c610c46b3d050b5526a45fcs5d01d007e5103a481f9a40cs
project_id: 3dbc6dc4d79eaa48a7af7ebc7ea12ef5
file_format: xml
pull:
targets:
- file: ./app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
params:
file_format: xml
# Unique locale id for English
locale_id: 17326bf9e3eb422fe1a33bb2faas7af1
- file: ./app/src/main/res/values-de/strings.xml
params:
file_format: xml
# Unique locale id for German
locale_id: 273dxbf9e3eb422fe1a33bb2fad87af1
- file: ./app/src/main/res/values-de-rAU/strings.xml
params:
file_format: xml
# Unique locale id for Austrian
locale_id: 37326bf9e3eb422fe1a33bb2fad87aas
push:
sources:
- file: ./app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
params:
file_format: xml
locale_id: 17326bf9e3eb422fe1a33bb2faas7af1
- file: ./app/src/main/res/values-de/strings.xml
params:
file_format: xml
locale_id: 273dxbf9e3eb422fe1a33bb2fad87af1
- file: ./app/src/main/res/values-de-rAU/strings.xml
params:
file_format: xml
locale_id: 37326bf9e3eb422fe1a33bb2fad87aas
Note: Android doesn’t use the typical iso language standard as the file pattern, so it’s necessary to adapt the required pattern in the .phraseapp.yml. For further reading have a look at the Google Developer Documentation
