Shipping translations through CI/CD

Use API tokens and export formats to make translation bundles repeatable in development and CI/CD pipelines.

Use a read token for pipeline pulls

CI jobs that only export bundles should use a token with read-only translation scope. Keep write tokens for controlled update flows.

Pipeline sketch

npm install --global @lexique/cli@0.2.0
export LEXIQUE_TOKEN="$LEXIQUE_MACHINE_TOKEN"
lexique pull --project 123 --locale en --format yaml --output translations/messages.en.yaml

Failure handling

  • Fail the job on unauthenticated, forbidden, or payment-required API responses.
  • Keep generated files deterministic so review diffs are readable.
  • Do not log token values or translation content containing secrets.
