Formats

An export profile describes how a project’s files look on disk. Upload and download use the same profile, so files round-trip with a clean git diff.

What a profile sets

Setting	Options
Format	json, php_array (Laravel), xml (Android), strings (Apple), plist (Apple)
Structure	flat, nested, per_ns_flat, per_ns_nested (one file per namespace)
Namespace separator	., :, / or none
Key separator	., -, _, camelCase, or none (the key is the source text)
Placeholder style	laravel :name, icu {name}, printf %s, mustache {{name}}, apple %@
Folders	per-locale folders (en/…) or flat files (en.json)

Placeholders are checked: a translation whose placeholders do not match the source cannot be saved, and machine translation keeps them intact.

Recipes

Stack	Typical files	Profile
Laravel	lang/en/auth.php, lang/en/validation.php	php_array, per_ns_nested, separator ., laravel placeholders
Laravel JSON	lang/en.json	json, flat, no folders, key separator none
i18next / React / Vue	locales/en/translation.json	json, nested, icu or mustache, file_name: "translation"
Android	one XML string resource file per locale	xml, flat, printf placeholders
iOS / macOS	one .strings or .plist file per locale	strings or plist, flat, apple placeholders

Layouts are always locale-first (en.json or en/…). You do not need to pick these by hand: the agent playbook detects the layout and either reuses a matching profile or creates one with rodarion profile create.
