Translations not applying in-game for a multi-app project (Transifex API integration)

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently integrated our project with Transifex for localization, but I’m running into an issue where translations are not being applied correctly during testing.

Setup

  • App is connected to Transifex via API integration

  • Strings are being pushed from the build to Transifex

  • Translation workflow is enabled for multiple languages

  • The project is part of a larger multi-app structure that includes several tools, including one labeled internally as delta executor for testing/organization purposes

Problem When I run a translation check or test build:

  • Strings do not appear translated in the app UI

  • It seems like the “sending/receiving signals” between the build and Transifex are not completing properly on pull

  • No obvious errors appear in the API response logs

  • Other modules or tools in the same app structure behave similarly, so it may be related to shared configuration or resource grouping

What I’ve checked so far

  • API keys and project configuration are correct

  • Resource files are properly registered in Transifex

  • Sync trigger is being called during the build process

  • Network requests are successfully completing (200 OK responses)

Questions

  1. Is there a known issue where grouped projects or multi-app structures can interfere with translation sync or resource routing?

  2. Could caching or delayed sync in Transifex cause translations not to appear immediately in test builds?

  3. Are there recommended debugging steps to verify whether strings are actually being pulled back correctly from Transifex via the API?

  4. Should each tool or sub-app in a multi-app structure be separated into individual Transifex projects to avoid configuration or key conflicts?

Any guidance would be appreciated, as I’m trying to figure out whether this is a configuration issue on my side or a sync timing problem in the workflow.

Hello ,

I am Christos from Transifex support.

In order to be able to diagnose properly what is the issue, please send your project link and workflow details (what exactly you are using - cli , which api endpoints, how do you download translations) to our support mail support.transifex@xtm.ai

Team will take it from there.

Kind regards
