Line Break Convert tool
The Line Break Convert tool normalizes line endings in block text to a
chosen style. It first collapses every line ending (\r\n and \r) to \n,
then rewrites them to the target style. Use it to make output consistent for
a platform that expects a particular convention — for example CRLF on
Windows-targeted files.
By default both the source and every target locale are converted.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
applySource | boolean | true | Apply to source text |
applyTarget | boolean | true | Apply to target text |
mode | string | lf | Target line break style |
Configure these parameters interactively and copy the flow-step YAML on the Tool Reference.
Examples
Convert to Windows line endings
Rewrite all line endings to CRLF for source and targets.
mode: crlf
Normalize only the source
Convert source line endings to LF, leaving targets untouched.
mode: lf applyTarget: false
Processing notes
Operates on translatable blocks only; non-translatable blocks pass through unchanged.
Target conversion applies to all target locales present, not a single configured locale.
