@nuykon/vue-translation-manager

This is a fork - https://github.com/cyon/vue-translation-manager , which fixed some bugs and added new functionality, primarily for working with Cyrillic texts (those for initially Russian-language applications)

original docs

Interactive dictionary generator for internationalization from vue components(sfc).

The utility only works with sfc, which extracts text only from vue templates and replaces them with an i18n.t function call.

Installation

npm install @nuykon/vue-translation-manager --save-dev

yarn add @nuykon/vue-translation-manager -D

Customization

Create a config file in the root of your project - .vue-translation.js

// .vue-translation.js
const path = require('path')
const { JSONAdapter } = require('@nuykon/vue-translation-manager')

module.exports = {
  srcPath: path.join(__dirname, 'src'),
  adapter: new JSONAdapter({ path: path.join(__dirname, 'i18n/messages.json') }),
  languages: ['ru', 'en']
}

And create empty json files (i18n/messages.json)

{}

If you give a path to a file, we're automatically assuming you're using a single file for your translations. If the given path is a directory we'll look for files named like this: [language].json.

// .vue-translation.js
const path = require('path')
const { JSONAdapter } = require('@nuykon/vue-translation-manager')

module.exports = {
  srcPath: path.join(__dirname, 'src'),
  adapter: new JSONAdapter({ path: path.join(__dirname, 'i18n/') }),
  languages: ['ru', 'en']
}

And create empty json files (i18n/ru.json, i18n/ru.json)

{}

`translate`

This command starts the interactive translation manager. It looks through all the .vue files inside your configured srcPath and detects untranslated strings.

In an interactive way you then can provide translations for all the configured languages and the strings in the component will get replaced and the translations saved. You can repeat this as long as there are untranslated strings in at least one of your components.

Optionally you can pass the --ask-key parameter. Per default we generate a key for every untranslated string based on where it occurs and on the string itself. If you don't want this you should provide the mentioned parameter and it will ask you to provide a key for every string to translate. If you are content with the default string then just hit enter. You can also enter a complete new key, separated by dots, or just enter a single word. Then it will just replace the last part of the suggested key.

The vue-translation-manager will also attempt to produce interpolated strings when there is dynamic data inside a text.

`translate` command params

--ask-key - By default, false, the key will be generated automatically (either by translation from Russian into English(google translate), or by transliteration(Я -> YA)). If you enable this option, the utility will prompt you to enter the key name.

nuykon-vtm translate --ask-key

--key-gen-mode - 'translit' - default or 'translate'. the key will be generated automatically - by transliteration(Я -> YA) or by translation from Russian into English(google translate api)

nuykon-vtm translate --key-gen-mode

--max-word-in-key - The key is generated from the source text, the option allows you to limit the number of words from which the key will be generated. default - 4

nuykon-vtm translate --max-word-in-key

--enable-message-translate - Enabling this option allows you to automatically translate key values from Russian to English. (google translate api)

nuykon-vtm translate --enable-message-translate

--ignore-words-in-path - Exclude words from the path

default - 'src,components,component,source,test'

nuykon-vtm translate --ignore-words-in-path=myFolder1,myFolder2

If you get the error "code: ERR_REQUIRE_ESM" when running commands, you need to temporarily remove it from the package.json string is"type": "module",`

If your application is inside another one and you get an error - command not found: nuykon-vtm

then try the command - node ./node_modules/@nuykon/vue-translation-manager/bin.js translate
