GitHub Markdown Files AutoTranslator

Warning

We only use TRANSLATION DeepL

This may affect the quality of the translation. It may also cause the system to MIS-identify your file data.

This GitHub Action automatically generates and pushes localized versions of your *.md files based on the supported languages.

Usage

To use this action, create a workflow file (e.g., .github/workflows/translate.yml) in your repository with the following content:

name: Generate Localized File  # The name of your action

on:
  workflow_dispatch:  # Manual start
  push:  # Run when committing to a branch
    branches:
    - master # Set the name of your branch if required
    paths: # Start translating only if file changed in current push
    - 'README.md'

jobs:
  translate:  # Task name
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest  # Running on an Ubuntu image
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code  # Step: code check
        uses: actions/checkout@v2  # Using an action to test the code

      - name: Run translation  # Step: start the translation
        uses: mrf0rtuna4/[email protected]  # Using an action to translate
        env:
          FILES: 'README.md' # The *.md files to be translate
          LANGS: 'english,italian,dutch,spanish' # List of languages to be translated

      - name: Push to GitHub  # Step: Submit changes to GitHub
        uses: crazy-max/[email protected]  # Using an action to publish to GitHub Pages
        with:
          target_branch: translations  # The branch to which the changes will be sent
          build_dir: 'dist'  # The directory with the collected files
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GTK }}  # Transferring a GitHub access token

Replace LANGS with a comma-separated list of languages you want to generate.
