lingo.dev i18n

Introduction

DEPRECATED: Run localization pipeline (prefer run command instead)

Usage

lingo.dev i18n [options]

Options

--locale <locale>

lingo.dev i18n --locale <locale>

Limit processing to the listed target locale codes from i18n.json. Repeat the flag to include multiple locales. Defaults to all configured target locales

Requires a value.

--bucket <bucket>

lingo.dev i18n --bucket <bucket>

Limit processing to specific bucket types defined in i18n.json (e.g., json, yaml, android). Repeat the flag to include multiple bucket types. Defaults to all buckets

Requires a value.

--key <key>

lingo.dev i18n --key <key>

Limit processing to a single translation key by exact match. Filters all buckets and locales to process only this key, useful for testing or debugging specific translations. Example: auth.login.title

Requires a value.

--file [files...]

lingo.dev i18n --file [files...]

Filter processing to only buckets whose file paths contain these substrings. Example: 'components' to process only files in components directories

Accepts an optional value.

--api-key <api-key>

lingo.dev i18n --api-key <api-key>

Override API key from settings or environment variables

Requires a value.

Flags

--frozen

lingo.dev i18n --frozen

Validate translations are up-to-date without making changes - fails if source files, target files, or lockfile are out of sync. Ideal for CI/CD to ensure translation consistency before deployment

--force

lingo.dev i18n --force

Force re-translation of all keys, bypassing change detection. Useful when you want to regenerate translations with updated AI models or translation settings

--verbose

lingo.dev i18n --verbose

Print the translation data being processed as formatted JSON for each bucket and locale

--interactive

lingo.dev i18n --interactive

Review and edit AI-generated translations interactively before applying changes to files

--debug

lingo.dev i18n --debug

Pause before processing localization so you can attach a debugger

--strict

lingo.dev i18n --strict

Stop immediately on first error instead of continuing to process remaining buckets and locales (fail-fast mode)
