Release CLI

{
  "scripts": {
    "release": "extension-build-release"
  }
}

Runs composer production install, webpack build, language pack compilation (POT → PO merge → MO + JSON), copies package.json files whitelist, and creates a versioned zip.

Ensure languages/**/* is in the files array so PO/MO/JSON ship in the zip.

i18n (Potomatic + langpacks)

Release automation (default)

extension-build-release calls extension-build-i18n --skip-translate before zipping:

1. Regenerate .pot from PHP + package source
2. Merge new strings into committed .po files (wp i18n update-po)
3. Compile .mo (PHP) and .json (JS) files

Potomatic is not run during release by default — release packages whatever translations are already in languages/.

prepare-release also refreshes langpacks (without translate) so POT/MO/JSON land in the release commit.

Ongoing translation (develop branch)

1. config/dictionaries/dictionary.json — brand terms Potomatic should not translate.
2. .github/workflows/translate.yml — Potomatic on develop + manual dispatch; commits updated .po/.json files.

Default languages (15): es_ES,pt_BR,fr_FR,de_DE,ja,ru_RU,it_IT,nl_NL,pl_PL,tr_TR,id_ID,zh_CN,ar,sv_SE,ko_KR

Repo secrets: OPENAI_API_KEY (or Gemini/Anthropic). Optional vars: DEFAULT_TRANSLATION_LANGUAGES, DEFAULT_TRANSLATION_MAX_COST.

Override per extension in package.json:

{
  "extensionRelease": {
    "i18n": {
      "languages": "es_ES,pt_BR,fr_FR,de_DE,ja,ru_RU,it_IT,nl_NL,pl_PL,tr_TR,id_ID,zh_CN,ar,sv_SE,ko_KR"
    }
  }
}

Local commands

{
  "scripts": {
    "i18n:build": "extension-build-i18n --skip-translate",
    "i18n:pot": "wp i18n make-pot . languages/{text-domain}.pot --domain={text-domain} --exclude=vendor,vendor-prefixed,node_modules,tests,dist",
    "i18n:update": "wp i18n update-po languages/{text-domain}.pot languages/",
    "i18n:mo": "wp i18n make-mo languages/",
    "i18n:json": "wp i18n make-json languages/ --no-purge",
    "i18n:translate:dry-run": "extension-run-potomatic --dry-run --max-strings-per-job 10",
    "i18n:translate": "extension-run-potomatic"
  }
}

Quick local test: ./custom-tools/test-extension-i18n.sh wp-content/plugins/popup-maker-exit-intent-popups--modernize-v2 fr_FR

Force Potomatic during a release build: EXTENSION_I18N_TRANSLATE=1 pnpm run release

Skip langpack step: pnpm run release -- --skip-i18n

GitHub secrets & variables

Copy .env.secrets.example → .env.secrets (gitignored), fill in values, then:

{
  "scripts": {
    "secrets:sync": "extension-sync-repo-secrets"
  }
}

pnpm run secrets:sync
# or target another repo:
GITHUB_REPO=PopupMaker/Exit-Intent pnpm run secrets:sync

Uses # --- Secrets --- / # --- Variables --- section headers in .env.secrets to route keys to encrypted secrets vs repo variables. Requires GitHub CLI (gh auth login).
