Lingo automation?

Post by DavidRundqvist »

Hi,

We would like to automate Lingo. Specifically, we would like to run Lingo's "Export" feature (to build translated Flare projects from the Lingo files) from a build script. That way we could store only the US English version of the Flare project + the Lingo project in our VCS, and compile the remaining artifacts in our build script. I'm looking for something like being able to call Lingo.exe with some command line arguments, like: "...\Lingo.exe Export -Source ... -Target ...".

I haven't found that this is possible. Is it truly so?

I saw this post from 7 years ago: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=8687&p=50109&hilit ... ine#p50109
Is this still the case, that Lingo can't be run from the command line?

Kind regards,
/David

Received an answer from Madcap's technical support: No, the Export function in Lingo can not be automated.
