  • First, changes from the file can be optionally be pushed into the Flex container.

  • Second, the file contents is updated with the latest translations from the Flex container.

The result is your updated file.the uploaded file with updates, if any, from the Flex container.

NOTE: This method is designed for multilingual files only. Such as Excel, CSV, POT, XLIFF and others.

URL

Code Block
(POST) /api/apps/wbflex/documents/{id}/contents/sync

...

The BODY must be a JSON object with these properties:

enabled

Specifies if content shall be synchronized into the Flex container or not.

bool, Mandatory

isPreviewMode

Optional boolean, default is false. If true then the system simulates the update and returns all the details but it will not actually update the Flex container.

bool, Optional

mode

Optional,

An optional JSON object that defines how file content is updated to the Flex container. If not specified then no updating will be done. See specifications further down.

Example:

file

A JSON object with the reference to the uploaded file, the parser configuration for content extraction and more. Please see a full list of properties here: Pushing content - "files" property . The file must be uploaded using media/upload to obtain a token, see example below.

Example:

Code Block
 "file": {
        "token": "{{uploadedFile}}",
        "name": "software-strings.xlsx",
        "formatId": 137,
        "stringKeyPattern": "string-{seq}"
    }

object, Mandatory

push

Code Block
"push": {
    "enabled": true,
    "mode": "SourceAndNewTranslations"
}

bool, Optional

callback

Specify a URL which will be called upon success or failure of operation. This makes polling for operation status unnecessary. See Callbacks (with asynchronous operations)

object, Optional

The push node has these properties:

pushMode

Optional, default is SourceAndNewTranslations

This field specifies how content is synchronized from the uploaded file to the Flex container. In many scenarios you want to sync source text changes from the file to Flex and translation changes from Flex back into the file.

The options are:

  • SourceAndNewTranslations: Sync source texts as well as translations from the file. Translations are only transferred from the file to Flex, if there is no translation yet. (Recommended mode)

  • SourceOnly: Sync source text changes only. Never transfer translations from the file to Flex (only the other way round).

  • SourceAndTranslation: Copy all content from the file to Flex. Typically this would be used when uploading content the very first time to Flex.

string, Optional

isPreviewMode

Optional boolean, default is false. If true then the system simulates the update and returns all the details but it will not actually update the Flex container.

bool, Optional

skipStatusError

Optional boolean, default is false. If true, then any texts with status in red color will not be pulled from the Flex container into the uploaded file.

bool, Optional

callback

Specify a URL which will be called upon success or failure of operation. This makes polling for operation status unnecessary. See Callbacks (with asynchronous operations)

object, Optional

RESULTS

The operation may take more or less time depending on the amount of data to push. Therefore it is implemented as an asynchronous operation. The API method returns an Asynchronous operation result:
