• Globalization Pipeline - Delete Bundle
• Globalization Pipeline - Download Bundle
• Globalization Pipeline - Upload Source Bundle

When you use these commands a connection will automatically be made to the Globalization Pipeline service on IBM Bluemix to complete your requested action. When you upload your source bundle content the extension will automatically detect the file format and will perform any necessary transformation for you. Currently only Java properties, JSON, Gettext POT, and i18n AMD resource bundles are supported. To upload bundle content make sure the content is being displayed in the active edit screen and then invoke the extension.
