Multilocale

Use this when someone asks to add a new language to a project and translate their strings into it. Returns the updated language list and how many strings were machine-translated, one per key, all before anything is saved, so a very large project can time out. Not for a language the project already has.

add_locale

Use this when someone asks to add a new string or key to their app's translations. Returns the created key with one machine translation per configured locale, made from the source text in the default locale. A key that already exists returns already-exists and is left unchanged. Not for changing an existing translation.

add_phrase

Use this when someone asks to change a project's default locale, replace its list of languages, or set its translation context. Returns which fields changed. The language list is replaced as a whole, no strings are translated or deleted, and the project name stays fixed. Not for adding a language with its translations.

update_project

Use this when someone asks to create a new localization project with a given name and languages. Returns the new project with its default locale and locales; if the name is taken it returns already-exists and creates nothing. Not for adding a language to an existing project.

add_project

Use this when someone asks to remove a key from their translations. Returns how many language rows were deleted and which other projects shared them; a shared string is deleted permanently for those projects too. Not for removing only one language's translation.

delete_phrase

Use this when someone asks to fix or change the text of one key in one language. Returns the previous and new text and the projects sharing that string; the change applies in all of them and marks the text as human-edited. Not for adding a new key.

update_phrase

Use this when someone wants the key and value pairs of one language, for example to review or copy a translation file. Returns up to 50 entries per call (25 by default) sorted by key, values cut to 500 characters, with nextSkip for the next page. Not for a complete file download, which the MultiLocale CLI provides.

export_locale_dictionary

Use this when someone wants to clean up a project by finding keys that repeat the same default-language text. Returns up to 25 repeated values with the keys that share them, scanning 1,000 default-locale strings by default and at most 2,000. Not for untranslated strings.

find_duplicate_phrase_values

Use this when someone asks which strings are not translated yet, or how complete each language is. Returns completion percentages and up to 25 missing keys per locale, for one locale or up to 10, compared with the default locale. Nothing is translated or written. Not for filling in the missing translations.

find_missing_translations

Use this when someone asks about one localization project, such as which languages it has or its default locale. Returns the project's id, name, default locale, configured locales and creation and edit times. Not for how complete its translations are.
