Langnostic

Workflows

Integrate Langnostic into any development and release workflow

Since there's only one main command for translating, Langnostic can be easily integrated into many common workflows:

  • Precommit hook: Run translation command before committing
  • Post-PR: Run translation command after PR is created. Can be done via CI hooks (e.g. GitHub actions)
  • Post-merging: Run translation command after PR is merged. Can be done via CI hooks (e.g. GitHub actions)
  • Periodically: Run translation command periodically (e.g. every 1 hour or 1 day)
  • Before release: Run translation command before deploying to staging and production
  • Watch mode: Background runner that watches file changes and runs translation after a file is saved. Can be overkill, but can be helpful if there's a need to see the translated result during development

The translation command can be run anytime because it does the minimal work required to get the project into the fully-translated state.

Manual workflow

  1. Update strings in app
  2. Developer runs CLI command → langnostic translate
  3. Commit updated files and deploy

CI/CD workflow

  1. Update strings in app
  2. Commit source file changes and push to a branch
  3. CI pipeline runs langnostic translate upon code push or pull requests
    • Commits the changes
    • CI bot creates pull request with translated files. Human reviews the translation changes before merging
