Hello Crowdin Community team,
I am setting up an Open Source localization project for a game called Space Station 14 (translating from English to Polish). The project uses Fluent (.ftl) files.
I’ve successfully connected our GitHub repository and configured the integration, but I am facing an issue that I cannot resolve: Crowdin does not import any source files into the project, even though it sees them perfectly in the branch configuration.
Here are the technical details:
-
In the Branch Configuration, my paths are set as follows:
-
Source files path:
/Resources/Locale/en-US//*.ftl -
Translated files path:
/Resources/Locale/pl-PL/**//%original_file_name%
-
-
In the same window, the Preview tab correctly displays the entire list of my
.ftlsource files. This confirms that Crowdin has access to the repo and the wildcard paths are correct. -
I saved the branch configuration, saved the main integration settings, and clicked Sync Now.
-
The sync process finishes, and the branch receives a green checkmark indicating a successful connection.
Problem: Despite the successful sync, my project’s Dashboard still shows 0 words, and the Sources tab is completely empty.
Troubleshooting steps I have already taken:
-
I waited for a long time (knowing that SS14 has a large localization codebase) to rule out background processing delays.
-
I thoroughly checked the Issues tab in the GitHub integration menu — it is completely empty. No errors are reported during the sync.
-
I made sure there is no conflicting
crowdin.ymlfile in the root of my repository overriding the UI settings. -
I did not use wildcards in the translated files path, strictly relying on
%original_file_name%.
Since the UI shows no errors and the Preview works, I am completely stuck. Could this be an issue with how the parser handles specific Fluent syntax used in Space Station 14? Is there a hidden internal error log on your end that explains why the import gets aborted?
