How does Import-TDBuild.ps1 work?

[Mysterious-Dev]

Hey. I wanted to know, how Import-TDBuild.ps1 script work exactly ? Where we put TDBuild.tar.gz, if it's needed to use parameters for script, etc... Because I want to do a PR for french translation, and I don't really understand how this script work :/.

Thanks in advance ^^.

It's used in conjunction with an internal build pipeline that localizes resources on the backend. If you're proposing manual changes, then this script is not relevant.

The files that are onboarded to that pipeline are below.

TemplateStudio/_build/pipelines/localization.yml

Lines 37 to 41 in 39bb5c1

	**\ProjectTemplates\**\Template.vstemplate;P:210
	**\FrontendFrameworks\FrontendFrameworks.json
	**\ProjectTypes\ProjectTypes.json
	**\.template.config\localize\templatestrings.json
	**\SharedResources\Resources.resx

If you're looking to propose manual changes, I would focus on the files that aren't onboarded to that pipeline like the .md files. Though if you see issues with other files, let us know.

Okay, and for the script, it is used to send translatable resources to a site like Crowdin or for something else?

[mikebattista]

The pipeline sends English resources to an internal service for localization. The script imports the localized files into the repo.

The internal service is accessible for contributors (like a Crowdin) ?

[mikebattista]

No.

I just imported the latest localized strings with #4645.
