Allow either Github pull requests or Crowdin.

Hello,

The description for this project states

Please note that only Crowdin should be used for translation. GitHub pull requests must not be used for translation, otherwise translations will be lost after the next synchronization from Crowdin!

I have found this to be a quite frustrating limitation. After installing and using this tool for around 2 months, I have noticed that half of the translations are still submitted via pull requests.

Translators have given me various reasons they cannot use Crowdin:

  • Region locked in certain areas of China.
  • Requires an account + additional signup.
  • Prefer Git.

My workaround has been to take the PR's and manually submit to Crowdin.

Is it possible to prevent overwriting of PRed translations? Even better, update Crowdin with the changed translations.

Hi, thanks for the request! I agree that it would be nice to support both Crowdin and GitHub PRs. However it is quite hard to implement, and I don't have much time for the project. So it is currently not planned.
