🛑 If you already have a json with your translations you can use it as a base!

separator your key separator '&&' or '-', default is '.'
langs your langs translate website, default is empty (https://github.com/neiderruiz/translate-files/blob/main/src/types/langs.ts){:target="_blank"}
- example 'es', 'en', 'fr', 'gu'
nameFile name file result, default is 'result'

    const { convertJsonToCsv } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");

    const data = require('../services/lang/languages/es.json')

    convertJsonToCsv(data, {
        separator: '.', 
        langs: ['es', 'en', 'fr', 'gu'],        
        nameFile: 'my_result'
    })

2. configure translations

import your result in Google Drive open google drive
- after open file with google sheets
after select keys and base, and copy in your copy of next document

Open url and duplicate file in your google drive.

🟢 document base spreadsheets translations

Share document
- give read permission
- copy link
- get document ID from url

duplicate document in your drive

we give our copy a name

We add our translations by editing the base column
- key: the unique key we use in our app to translate text t('actions.save')
- base: the text that we enter so that spreadsheets creates the translations automatically
- es,en,it,fr: base languages that the template has, you can add or remove languages

we press share

brings the following as a base configuration

we update it as follows and click on done

we extract the document id from our url

// src/utils/translate.js
const { translateFileCsv } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");

translateFileCsv('19sxdh1WE5RMXiuTWuMJonu81NWrewZbZ','./translations')

add script in package.json

// package.json
{
    "scripts": {
