Lokalise Core Workflow A

Overview

Primary workflow covering the "source to Lokalise" direction: upload translation files, create and update keys programmatically, tag keys for organization, and perform bulk operations. Both SDK and CLI approaches shown for every operation.

Prerequisites

• Lokalise API token exported as LOKALISE_API_TOKEN
• Lokalise project ID exported as LOKALISE_PROJECT_ID
• @lokalise/node-api installed for SDK examples
• lokalise2 CLI installed for CLI examples
• Source translation file(s) in a supported format (JSON, XLIFF, PO, YAML, etc.)

Instructions

1. Upload source translation files. File upload is async: the API returns a process object that must be polled until completion.
