Setup Crowdin

[andrii-bodnar]

Hey everyone,

I'm suggesting the integration with Crowdin via GitHub Actions. Crowdin is free for open-source projects. This integration works in the following way:

• the action runs every 6 hours (actually, it's up to you what trigger to use, it could also be a push to the default branch, for example)
• upload new source texts to the Crowdin project
• upload existing translations to Crowdin (using the upload_translations action config parameter, it's necessary only for the first time)
• download all the new translations from Crowdin and commit these translations to the localization_branch_name
• open a Pull Request with the latest translations.

You can find my demo Crowdin project here - classicpowermenu-demo.

Example of the first PR that will be created by Crowdin Action - https://github.com/andrii-bodnar/ClassicPowerMenu/pull/1 (Don't worry about the diffs - it's only the first time, in the next PRs diffs will include only the latest translations from Crowdin).

Fixes #51

The next steps we can do to move further with this integration:

• Create a Crowdin account.
• Submit the Open-source project setup request form.
• Create a new Crowdin Project:
  • Fill in other target languages.
  • In the project settings enable the global Translation Memory (optional).
• Generate a new Personal Access Token in your Crowdin account settings.
• Generate a new GitHub Token (only the repo scope is required).
• Create the Actions secrets for your repository:
  • CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKEN - the personal access token generated in Crowdin.
  • CROWDIN_PROJECT_ID - ID of the Crowdin project.
  • GH_TOKEN - the personal access token generated in GitHub.
• merge this PR.

Hi @KieronQuinn, could you please check this PR? 🙂

It looks fine, but the whole repo is a mess to the point I actually can't build the app properly anymore. Something dependency related, I don't have time to fix it. To do builds I currently have to run a combination of console gradle commands and generate signed APK - so I can't do big changes like this. I will sort this eventually.

Update on this, I've solved the dependency issue and have followed all the steps. Merging now.

Seems to have worked, thanks so much for your help!
