Option to create missing sources

[dprevost-LMI]

I'm getting the errors below after my integration, and I would like an option so that the missing sources can be created by themselves. Does such a config already exist?

I might create the empty source file myself as a workaround, but it is a burden. If there is no such config, I might enter a feature request!

Due to missing respective sources, the following translations will be omitted

🤔 There is something I'm not sure to understand completely. I created those language files (like ios.txt.fr) in my GitHub project. By doing so, I thought it would please the Github action, but it did not.

If anyone can help me, it would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi @dprevost-LMI, please share your crowdin.yml configuration file and the action configuration.

Looking at the screenshot, there is definitely something weird with the placeholder %two_letters_code%. It shouldn't be there. I would suggest to check this first, maybe something is wrong with the translation pattern or the "Resulting file after translation export" value in the source file settings in Crowdin.

Yes, I will share (I do not have access right now); something seems up with that placeholder. At the same time, we already use that placeholder with the Webhook integration, and it works well so it is wierd

Here you go @andrii-bodnar

Let me know if it looks like a bug; I will transfer that to the appropriate place!

My crowdin.yml at the root:

Thanks @dprevost-LMI for the details! At first glance, everything looks fine.

• Could you please try downloading your translations via the UI, check the downloaded archive and see if it has the expected structure? Is it expected to have a language code after the filename for your txt files?
• Have you checked the FAQ section regarding this warning? There are some tips there.
