Crowdin CLI Tweet GitHub Repo stars

Tip

Crowdin CLI 5.0 is here! 🚀 A complete rewrite in TypeScript, powered by Bun - instant startup, no Java required, and JSON/TOON output built for scripts and AI agents. Your commands and crowdin.yml stay the same. Read the announcement!

Crowdin CLI is a command line tool that allows you to manage and synchronize your localization resources with your Crowdin project. Using CLI, you can:

  • automate the process of updating your source files in your Crowdin project
  • download translations from Crowdin and automatically save them in the correct locations
  • upload all your existing translations to Crowdin in minutes
  • manage your localization resources without leaving the terminal
  • integrate Crowdin CLI with GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI, and other software
  • plug localization into AI agent workflows - machine-readable output, Agent Skills, and string context enrichment

It is cross-platform and runs in a terminal on Linux-based and macOS operating systems, or in the command prompt on Windows.

Usage

Visit the documentation for more details.

Built for AI Agents

Crowdin CLI treats AI agents as first-class users: instant startup, stable exit codes, and machine-readable output (--output json|toon) make it cheap and predictable for an agent to call dozens of times in a row. The Crowdin Agent Skills teach your agent the CLI, the configuration file, and the core workflows:

npx skills add crowdin/skills --skill crowdin-cli

Your agent can also enrich your strings with context: it downloads the strings, analyzes your codebase to see how each one is used, and pushes the descriptions back to Crowdin - so translators and AI translations stop guessing. Read Context Enrichment with AI Agents to learn more.
