Lokalise Local Dev Loop

Overview

Set up a complete local development workflow with Lokalise: project structure for i18n files, CLI push/pull commands, file watching for auto-upload, mock translations for offline development, framework integration (React i18next, Vue i18n), and a pre-commit hook to keep translations synced.

Prerequisites

• Lokalise API token exported as LOKALISE_API_TOKEN
• Lokalise project ID exported as LOKALISE_PROJECT_ID
• Node.js 18+ with npm or pnpm
• lokalise2 CLI installed
• Git (for pre-commit hook)

Instructions

1. Set up the project directory structure for i18n files, compatible with Lokalise's bundle_structure and most i18n frameworks.
