Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines
Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.
After Airbyte
Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Lokalise connector in Airbyte

Connect to Lokalise or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up S3 Glue for your extracted Lokalise data

Select S3 Glue where you want to import data from your Lokalise source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Lokalise to S3 Glue in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Lokalise to S3 Glue Manually

Begin by exporting the data from Lokalise in a suitable format such as CSV or JSON. Log in to your Lokalise account, navigate to the project that contains the data you want to export, and use the export feature to download the files to your local system. Ensure that you choose a format that is compatible with AWS Glue.

Log into your AWS account and navigate to the S3 service. Create a new bucket where you will store the Lokalise data files. Choose a unique name for the bucket and configure the necessary permissions to ensure only authorized users have access.

Upload the exported Lokalise files to the newly created S3 bucket. You can do this using the AWS Management Console by navigating to your bucket and using the "Upload" feature, or by using the AWS CLI with the `aws s3 cp` command. Ensure that the files are placed in the correct directory structure if you plan to use specific S3 prefixes.

Set up an AWS Glue Crawler to catalog the data stored in your S3 bucket. Go to the AWS Glue console and create a new crawler. Define the data source as your S3 bucket and specify the IAM role with the necessary permissions. Configure the crawler to run on demand or on a schedule as needed.

Execute the AWS Glue Crawler to automatically discover the schema and create a table in the AWS Glue Data Catalog. This step is crucial for AWS Glue to understand the structure of your data and make it available for ETL operations.

In the AWS Glue console, create a new ETL job. Define the source as the table generated by the crawler and specify the target destination (another S3 bucket or database). Configure the job script to transform the data if needed, using either the Glue provided code editor or by uploading a Python or Scala script.

Execute the AWS Glue ETL job to process the data. Monitor the job's progress through the AWS Glue console to ensure that it completes successfully. Check the output location to verify that the data has been transformed and stored as expected.

Following these steps will allow you to move data from Lokalise to AWS S3 and use AWS Glue for processing without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

FAQs

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

Using Lokalise, you can manage your localizations in an easy, affordable, and modern way. It is a cloud-based system that allows you to manage localizations and translations efficiently. Especially when utilizing the continuous localization capabilities, it makes your website, app, game, or any other project global, vibrant, and engaging. The tool localise belongs to the Translation Service category. You need a platform that brings together all stakeholders and processes to make localization successful.

Lokalise's API provides access to a wide range of data related to localization and translation management. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Lokalise's API:  

1. Projects: Information related to the projects created in Lokalise, including project ID, name, description, and project settings.  
2. Keys: Data related to the keys used in the localization process, including key ID, name, description, and translation status.  
3. Translations: Information related to the translations of the keys, including translation ID, language, and translation text.  
4. Teams: Data related to the teams working on the localization projects, including team ID, name, and team members.  
5. Files: Information related to the files used in the localization process, including file ID, name, and file format.  
6. Comments: Data related to the comments made on the keys and translations, including comment ID, author, and comment text.  
7. Tags: Information related to the tags used to categorize the keys and translations, including tag ID, name, and tag color.  

Overall, Lokalise's API provides comprehensive access to the data required for efficient localization and translation management.

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 
1. Set up Lokalise to S3 Glue as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Lokalise to S3 Glue and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
