Fix Crowdin Pr

Fix Crowdin PR

Fix coderabbit findings on a Crowdin sync PR so the fix survives the next sync.

Why this order matters

Crowdin force pushes l10n_main on every sync. A fix that lands only on the PR branch gets overwritten; a fix made only in Crowdin waits for the next sync. Therefore: upload corrections to Crowdin first, then push the identical changes to the branch. The next sync then exports identical content and the branch stays stable.

Credentials

Token and project id live in the macOS Keychain:

security find-generic-password -s rallly-billing.CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN -w
security find-generic-password -s rallly-billing.CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID -w

The token is the secret: retrieve it inline, never echo it. The project id is not secret — it is 527308 and appears in API paths below. Files are namespaced under Crowdin branch main (branchId 10).

Steps

1. Find findings

Default to the open PR titled "🌐 New Crowdin updates" (gh pr list --search "🌐 New Crowdin updates" --state open), or use the PR number given as an argument.

gh api repos/lukevella/rallly/pulls/<PR>/comments --paginate

Filter to comments authored by coderabbitai. Extract path, line, and the suggested fix from each body.

2. Check out the branch

Check out l10n_main in the session worktree.

3. Apply fixes

Judge each finding on its merits — coderabbit is sometimes wrong. Skip anything that contradicts the English source in apps/web/public/locales/en/, packages/emails/locales/en/, or apps/landing/public/locales/en/, and note why.

Apply accepted fixes with a python script using exact string replacement:

• Assert each old string occurs exactly once in the file before replacing.
• After all edits, json.load every touched file to prove it still parses.

4. Upload to Crowdin

Derive the affected languages from the touched file paths (the locale directory segment), then upload.

Primary: Crowdin CLI (works since preserve_hierarchy: true landed in crowdin.yml, PR #2717). One run per affected language:

CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -s rallly-billing.CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN -w) \
CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID=$(security find-generic-password -s rallly-billing.CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID -w) \
npx -y @crowdin/cli@4 upload translations -b main -l <crowdin-lang-id> --auto-approve-imported --no-progress

The CLI uploads all translation files for the language, not just touched ones; identical translations are skipped by default, so this is harmless. Do not run crowdin status — the token scopes don't cover it.

Fallback: REST API — use when the CLI fails or Java/npx is unavailable (it is faster and uploads only touched files, but needs hand-rolled requests). Per touched file and language:

1. POST https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2/storages with headers Authorization: Bearer <token>, Crowdin-API-FileName: <basename>, Content-Type: application/octet-stream, body = raw file bytes. Response gives storageId.

2. POST https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2/projects/527308/translations/<crowdin-lang-id> with JSON body:

   {"storageId": <id>, "fileId": <fileId>, "importEqSuggestions": false, "autoApproveImported": true}
   

Known fileIds: web app.json = 35, emails emails.json = 68, landing blog.json = 53, common.json = 55, home.json = 57, pricing.json = 59. If a fileId is unknown, list via GET /api/v2/projects/527308/files.

5. Verify

Confirm at least one fix landed as the current translation:

GET /api/v2/projects/527308/languages/<crowdin-lang-id>/translations?stringIds=<ids>&fileId=<fileId>

Find stringIds via GET /api/v2/projects/527308/strings?fileId=<fileId>&filter=<key>&scope=identifier.

Do not use GET /api/v2/projects/527308/translations?stringId=... for verification — it lists suggestions oldest first and ignores orderBy, so it shows stale entries.

6. Commit and push

Commit to l10n_main with a 🌐 gitmoji message and push. --no-verify is acceptable in a fresh worktree (husky needs node_modules).

7. Reply and resolve every comment

Crowdin syncs keep adding new translations, and each sync can bring new coderabbit comments. Unresolved threads must mean "not yet addressed" — so after pushing, reply to every finding and resolve its thread, applied or skipped:

• Applied: cite the fix commit sha and note the Crowdin upload was verified.
• Skipped: state the reason (e.g. matches the English source, contradicts the file's register).

Reply to a review comment (comment ids come from the step 1 fetch):

gh api -X POST repos/lukevella/rallly/pulls/<PR>/comments/<comment-id>/replies -f body='...'

Resolving needs GraphQL — list thread ids, then resolve the ones still open (coderabbit auto-resolves some threads when it sees the fix commit; skip those):

gh api graphql -f query='query { repository(owner: "lukevella", name: "rallly") { pullRequest(number: <PR>) { reviewThreads(first: 50) { nodes { id isResolved comments(first: 1) { nodes { databaseId } } } } } } }'
gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "<thread-id>"}) { thread { isResolved } } }'

8. Report

Summarize: findings applied, findings skipped and why, Crowdin verification result, pushed commit sha, and confirmation that all threads are replied to and resolved.

Language id mapping

Repo locale dirs use two letter codes (%two_letters_code% in crowdin.yml) plus pt-BR and zh-Hant. Crowdin language ids differ for some:

Everything else observed so far matches the two letter code. If unsure, check targetLanguageIds via GET /api/v2/projects/527308 — an upload to a wrong language id fails loudly, so a mistake here can't corrupt data, only waste a round trip.

Gotchas

• The Bash tool sandbox drops PATH inside shell functions. Make the REST API calls from a python script that reads the token via subprocess + security, not from shell functions wrapping curl.
• Never write the token to a file, echo it, or pass it where it lands in logs. Keychain lookups inline only.
• Findings on languages you can't judge: prefer skipping over guessing. A wrong "fix" auto-approved into Crowdin displaces a human translation.
