Crowdin Query Language (CroQL)

Crowdin Query Language (CroQL) is a tool for Crowdin Editor and Crowdin Enterprise Editor and Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise API that allows you to retrieve needed localization resources based on specific conditions. Using CroQL, you can filter source strings and their translations for a specific target language, as well as TM segments.

You can use CroQL with the following API methods:

Operators

Main CroQL operators are listed below. Use and combine them to set specific conditions for retrieving the needed content from Crowdin. To form your CroQL query, you can use the elements from the tables below.

Arithmetic Operators

The arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematic operations with any numeric data types.

Name	Symbol	Example
Addition	+	1 + 9
Subtraction	-	11 - 1
Division	/	20 / 2
Multiplication	*	2 * 5
Negation	-	-10

Comparison Operators

The comparison operators are used to compare values and return true or false.

Name	Symbol	Aliases	Example
Between	{{expression}} between {{expression}} and {{expression}}		5 between 1 and 10
Equal	=		10 = 10
Not equal	!=	≠	1 != 10; 1 ≠ 10
Greater	>		10 > 1
Greater or equal	>=	≥	10 >= 1; 10 ≥ 1
Less	<		1 < 10
Less or equal	<=	≤	1 <= 10; 1 ≤ 10;
Contains	{{string}} contains {{string}}		"Hello World" contains "Hello"; "Hello World" contains text; text contains "Hello World"; context contains text;

Logical Operators

The logical operators are used to combine multiple boolean expressions or values and provide a single boolean output.

Name	Symbol	Example
And	and	1 < 10 and 10 > 1
Or	or	1 < 10 or 10 > 1
Xor	xor	1 < 10 xor 10 > 1
Not	not	not 1 < 10

Filtration Operators

The filtration operators are used to filter the objects based on the specified condition.

Name	Symbol	Example
Filter	{{collection}} where {{predicate}}	translations where (count of votes > 0)
Match	{{object}} with {{predicate}}	user with (login = "crowdin")

Conditional (Ternary) Operator

The ternary operator is used to check a condition specified in the first value, and if it’s true it returns the second value, but if it’s false it returns the third value.

Name	Symbol	Example
Ternary	If {{condition}} then {{expression}} else {{expression}}	If 1 < 10 then "less" else "greater"

Fetch Operators

The fetch operators are used for retrieving data from the objects.

Name	Symbol	Example
Mention	@user:{{string}}; @language:{{string}}	@user:"crowdin"; @language:"en"
Member	{{member}} of {{object}}	count of translations
Identifier	{{identifier}}	text; identifier

Scalar Operators

The scalar operators are used to declare values for further processing.

Name	Symbol	Example
Integer	{{integer}}	10
Float	{{float}}	10.01
String	{{string}}	“crowdin"
Datetime	{{datetime}}	'today'; '2021-03-16 00:00:00'

Group Operator

The group operator is used to determine the execution order of operators.

Name	Symbol	Example
Group	( )	1 < 10 and (20 > 10 or 10 > 5)

CroQL Query Examples

In this section, you can find practical examples of CroQL queries that will help you understand and use the querying capabilities within Crowdin. These examples can help you learn how to create your own queries to retrieve specific sets of data based on various criteria, such as translation status, user activity, and string properties.

Strings Queries

These queries are used to retrieve information about source strings.

Strings that have no Ukrainian translations with approvals or votes:

count of translations where ( language = @language:"uk" and ( count of approvals > 0 or count of votes > 0 ) ) = 0

Strings that have only one translation:

count of translations = 1

Strings that have translations from only one specific user:

count of translations > 0 and count of translations = count of translations where (user = @user:"crowdin")

Strings that have at least one translation not from specific users:

count of translations where (user != @user:"crowdin") > 0

Strings that have all translations not from specific users:

count of translations > 0 and count of translations = count of translations where (user != @user:"crowdin")

Strings filtered by identifier and numeric id of a file in your Crowdin project:

identifier = "key" and id of file = 777

Strings that have unresolved issues filtered by numeric id of a file in your Crowdin project:

id of file = 777 and count of comments where (has unresolved issue) > 0

Hidden strings that are not duplicates and have one or more translations:

is hidden and not is duplicate and count of translations > 0

Strings that have one or more approvals:

count of languages summary where (approvalsCount >= 1) > 0

Strings that have comments made by the user with a crowdin username:

count of comments where (user = @user:"crowdin") > 0

Strings that contain “ABC” in the source text but don’t contain “ABC” in their translations:

text contains "ABC" and (count of translations where (text contains "ABC") = 0)

Using String Queries in Crowdin API:

Use your query in the following Crowdin API endpoints:

Crowdin:

GET https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2/projects/{projectId}/strings?croql={croql}

Crowdin Enterprise:

GET https://{organization_domain}.api.crowdin.com/api/v2/projects/{projectId}/strings?croql={croql}

Note: Before executing the request, ensure to URL encode your CroQL expression.

{projectId}

Type: integer

Description: Numeric identifier of your Crowdin project.

{croql}

Type: string

Description: CroQL expression.

Translation Queries

These queries are used to retrieve information about translations.

Translations made by the user with a crowdin username or ones with ≥ 100 upvotes:

user = @user:"crowdin" or count of votes where ( is up ) >= 100

Using Translation Queries in Crowdin API:

Use your query in the following Crowdin API endpoints:

Crowdin:

GET https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2/projects/{projectId}/languages/uk/translations?croql={croql}

Crowdin Enterprise:

Translation Memory Segment Queries

These queries are used to retrieve information about TM segments.

Translation memory segments containing at least one record used one or more times:

count of records where (usageCount > 0) > 0

Translation memory segments containing at least one record created by the user with a crowdin username:

count of records where (createdBy = @user:"crowdin") > 0

Using Translation Memory Segment Queries in Crowdin API:

Use your query in the following Crowdin API endpoints:

Crowdin:

GET https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2/tms/{tmId}/segments?croql={croql}

Crowdin Enterprise:
