Component for multiple platforms

[PavelMesicek]

Describe the issue

I would like to have only one component for iOS and Android. Currently, we have separate components, and we download a zip file using the wlc client. Then, we unzip the file using a Python script and copy the contents to the corresponding folders in either Android Studio or Xcode. This procedure is not very efficient, so I would like to have only one component that can be downloaded using the wlc client and always in the format that I need.

I know that in the UI, I can customize the language and its formats, but I haven't found a way to do this through the wlc console.

Also, I would like to ask you how to create plural strings in the UI.

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Setup the weblate.ini file with keys, components, API keys, etc.
2. Use wlc download --output Output to download the files.
3. I've tried several other arguments, like --convert or --format, but they haven't worked.
4. Unzip the files and move them to the correct folders.

Expected behavior

I would like to download strings and xml from one component

I download using api and powershell. This is my sample code:

# Ustawienia
$api_key = "00000000000000000000000000000000000000"
$base_url = "https://weblate.eso-spolszczenie.eu/api"

# Nazwy komponentów i język
$components = @("204987124", "115740052")
$language = "pl"

# Funkcja wyświetlająca powód błędu, jeśli wystąpił
function Show-Error($error) {
    Write-Host "Błąd $($error.Exception.Message):"
    Write-Host $error.Exception.Response.GetResponseStream() | 
        Select-Object -ExpandProperty ReadToEnd | 
        ConvertFrom-Json | 
        Select-Object -ExpandProperty detail
}

# Pobieranie plików dla każdego komponentu
foreach ($component in $components) {
    # Tworzenie adresu URL z parametrami
    $url = "$base_url/translations/eso-spolszczenie/$component/$language/file/?format=csv"
    
    # Nagłówki żądania HTTP
    $header = @{
        "Authorization" = "Token $api_key"
    }
    
    # Pobieranie pliku
    try {
        Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Headers $header -Method Get -OutFile "$component.csv"
    }
    catch {
        Show-Error $_
    }
}

I think that two components and translation propagation is the best approach.

Maybe we should cover this by the documentation.
