Q: How to automate the deletion of deprecated keys?

You can consider deleting deprecated keys , if you are running over the source key limit. However, be sure that deleted keys are no longer necessary for your project, as you cannot restore them if needed, and all the associated data is also deleted. To automate the deletion of deprecated keys, create a new Automation in the Tools section of your project. Choose the action “ Delete deprecated source keys ” and configure it to trigger on events like key uploads. You can set filters to specify which keys to delete, such as those with a certain prefix.

Question 2

How to set up filters for my automations?

Accepted Answer

Filters in Localazy’s Automations allow you to apply actions to specific subsets of keys or translations. You can set filters based on language, user roles, state, and tags.

To set up filters, go to the automation configuration, navigate to the third page in settings, and tick your desired filters. These filters can include or exclude specific conditions to fine-tune the trigger’s application.

Question 5

Can I batch-add tags to my existing keys, or do I have to add them manually for each key?

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to add tags one key at a time. The Batch tags API lets you add or remove tags across up to 1,000 keys in a single request, so you can tag your existing keys in bulk any time, including right after an import.

You can also set up an automation that adds or removes tags automatically based on filters and triggers, such as tagging every key that comes from a specific imported file, with no manual or API step needed.

In the UI, tags still get added one key at a time, from the source language table. The translations list’s multi-select actions handle translation status instead, such as approving, sending back for review, pre-translating, flagging, or deleting, not tagging.
