ci: add Crowdin translation sync workflow - #130
Merged
Conversation
Reconnect a translation pipeline for Localizable.xcstrings. On push to main the workflow uploads new English source strings to Crowdin; on a weekly schedule (or manual dispatch) it pulls translated strings back as a "New translations from Crowdin" PR. It stays dormant until the maintainer adds the CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID and CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN secrets, so it never fails on pushes before setup is complete. Reconcile the localization docs to match: CONTRIBUTING.md now describes the Crowdin flow (English source strings only; translate via Crowdin, not in PRs), and docs/AUDIT.md no longer claims a Crowdin project that wasn't actually wired up on this fork.
Without preserve_hierarchy the CLI flattens the source path to /Localizable.xcstrings on upload, and the download step can no longer map the exported file back to Whisky/Localizable.xcstrings (it warns 'missing respective sources' and skips it). Keeping the repo hierarchy in Crowdin makes upload and download symmetric.
