`locize remove` is too slow about locize-cli HOT 6 CLOSED

Probably you are calling the remove command serially?
Try to do something like this:

locize remove --language en namespace key1 &
locize remove --language en namespace key2 &
locize remove --language en namespace key3 &

A single & symbol between commands will let each run independently without relying on the previous command having succeeded.

You can also try to use the locize sync command?

Alternatively, directly use the API: https://docs.locize.com/integration/api#update-remove-translations
set null value for the keys you want to delete.

Right, I was calling them serially. (I tried using & after every of the 652 lines but it froze my computer for minutes and then 367 of those invocations failed with timeout error.)

I was considering sync, but wasn't sure if it fits my use case. But re-reading the doc, it could work.
Just to confirm:
If I pass --reference-language-only false, it won't change the values of any keys in locize, right?
And it won't download any keys that are only in locize, right?
So it will only add keys to locize that were added locally & remove keys from locize that were deleted locally, for all languages, right?

from locize-cli.

locize sync will synchronize local(filesystem) and remote(locize), this means it will also download new (published) changes done in locize.
so --reference-language-only false will check not only for changes in your reference language but for changes in all languages

I don't unterstand why you should not want to download changes from remote to local....

As said, if you have a "special" workflow behaviour, use directly the API: https://docs.locize.com/integration/api#update-remove-translations

from locize-cli.

Ah. So am I understanding it correctly that locize sync --reference-language-only false will not change the values of any key in locize but will set the value of each local key to the value it has in locize?

How does this "all non reference languages will always be just locally replaced by what is published on locize" change with --reference-language-only false?

I think we're talking past each other...
I suggest you create an empty folder somewhere on your local machine, then run locize sync once, and afterwards try to make some translation changes (locally and/or in locize) and execute locize sync --dry true and locize sync --reference-language-only false --dry true
