Skip downloading files without translations

General Questions
1

I am downloading all translations for my Android project with the following command:

crowdin download -v -i PROJECT_ID -T TOKEN

This downloads a strings.xml file for each language which is configured in the Crowdin website UI. Some of these languages have received translation while others have 0 progress.

Feature request

  • It would be great if you could add a configuration option to skip downloading all languages which have not been translated yet.
  • I imagine the option could be named --skip-zero-translated-files to clearly distinguish it from the --skip-untranslated-files option.
  • Further, it must be valid to combine the new option with other options like --skip_untranslated_strings.

Hi there!

I’ve passed your request to our developers to make some improvements

Meanwhile, as a workaround, you can try to use this command
After you get the languages’ progress, you can download all with 100%

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Thank you for forwarding the request and pointing me to the API. I hope the proposed option becomes part of the CLI tool. It would be very convenient.

Hi there!

Yes, the improvement task is created for the CLI tool, the proposed workaround is just the API
Sorry for the confusion :pray:

Hi there!

Got the answer from our devs that we already have a command for CLI to see the translations progress, so you can decide whether to download the files or not

I see. Thank you for reaching out to the team.

From a user perspective it would still be convenient to let the Crowdin backend do the check for every single language instead of iterating them on the client and doing multiple requests.
