We’re excited to announce a new feature that brings **greater flexibility** to your GitHub, GitLab, Azure, and Bitbucket integrations! Now, when you send translation files from Transifex to a Git repository, you can **define the mode** of the translation file you’ll retrieve. This means you have more control over how translations are pushed to your repository, allowing you get content based on its **translation status** in Transifex.

**Why is this important?**  
By selecting the desired mode, you can control which translations are included in the **PR/Commit** sent to your repository for review and approval. Whether you want only the **translated strings** or specific translation-mode files, this customization allows you to tailor the content that appears in each commit. This provides your team with greater **control over the merge process** , ensuring that the right content is reviewed, reducing unnecessary clutter, and making it easier to focus on what truly needs attention. Ultimately, it streamlines your workflow, improves efficiency, and ensures a more **accurate and focused review process** —saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

### Example Scenario

Here’s how you can set it up in the YAML Config file:

```auto
filters:
  - filter_type: file
    file_format: YML
    source_language: en
    source_file: test.yml
    translation_files_expression: 'Translations/target_<lang>.yml'
    mode: onlytranslated

```

Be sure to check out our [Help Center](https://help.transifex.com/en/collections/3519116-file-formats) for full details on each translation file download mode and file format specifications!

We hope this feature helps make your Git-based workflows smoother and more efficient when handling translations. As always, we welcome your feedback!
