lingo.dev purge

Introduction

WARNING: Permanently delete translation entries from bucket path patterns defined in i18n.json. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone. Without any filters, ALL managed keys will be removed from EVERY target locale.

Usage

lingo.dev purge [options]

Options

--bucket <bucket>

lingo.dev purge --bucket <bucket>

Limit the purge to specific bucket types defined under buckets in i18n.json. Repeat the flag to include multiple bucket types. Defaults to all buckets

Requires a value.

--file [files...]

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

Filter which file paths to purge by matching against path patterns. Only paths containing any of these values will be processed. Examples: --file messages.json --file admin/

Accepts an optional value.

--key <key>

lingo.dev purge --key <key>

Filter which keys to delete using prefix matching on dot-separated key paths. Example: 'auth.login' matches all keys starting with auth.login. Omit this option to delete ALL keys. Keys marked as locked or ignored in i18n.json are automatically skipped

Requires a value.

--locale <locale>

lingo.dev purge --locale <locale>

Limit purging to specific target locale codes from i18n.json. Repeat the flag to include multiple locales. Defaults to all configured target locales. Warning: Including the source locale will delete content from it as well.

Requires a value.

Flags

Bypass safety confirmations for destructive operations. Use with extreme caution - this will delete translation keys without asking for confirmation. Intended for automated scripts and CI environments only.
