CLI

glotfile split

Converts a single glotfile.json into a glotfile/ directory of smaller files — one per locale plus shared config and key metadata. For large catalogs this keeps git diff fast and reviewable: an AI run on French rewrites only glotfile/locales/fr.json.

glotfile split

This is a one-time, deliberate operation that produces a clearly-labelled commit and sets config.storage to "split". After splitting, the CLI, web UI, and every export adapter behave identically — only the on-disk layout changes. Load auto-detects the format, so nothing else needs configuring.

See The State File for the full directory layout and the trade-offs.
