Usage

1. CLI

$ npx i18next-locales-sync -p he -s en de ja -l path/to/locales/folder --spaces 2

or using config file

// localesSync.config.js
module.exports = {
  primaryLanguage: 'he',
  secondaryLanguages: ['en', 'de', 'ja'],
  localesFolder: './path/to/locales/folder',
  overridePluralRules: (pluralResolver) =>
    pluralResolver.addRule('he', pluralResolver.getRule('en')), // This is available only when using config file
  spaces: 2,
};

$ npx i18next-locales-sync -c ./localesSync.config.js

2. Node

import { syncLocales } from 'i18next-locales-sync';
import path from 'path';

syncLocales({
  primaryLanguage: 'en',
  secondaryLanguages: ['en', 'de', 'ja'],
  localesFolder: path.resolve('./path/to/locales/folder'),
  overridePluralRules: (pluralResolver) =>
    pluralResolver.addRule('he', pluralResolver.getRule('en')),
});

Options

Currently, the lib supports only .json locale files, PRs are welcome :].

Example

Given these files:

examples
├── en
│   └── namespace.json
├── he
│   └── namespace.json
└── ja
    └── namespace.json

// en/namespace.json
{
  "foo_male": "bar-male-en",
  "room_one": "room",
  "room_other": "rooms"
}

// he/namespace.json
{
  "room": "חדר",
  "foo_male": "bar-male-he",
  "room_few": "חדרים"
}

// ja/namespace.json
{
  "foo_male": "bar-male-ja",
  "room": "部屋",
  "room_other": "部屋"
}

Syncying he & ja against en

$ npx i18next-locales-sync -p en -s he ja -l ./examples/

Will result with

// en/namespace.json

// `en` remains untouched
{
  "foo_male": "bar-male-en",
  "room_one": "room",
  "room_other": "rooms"
}

// he/namespace.json

// sorted based on the primary lang file
// keeps existing plural form (room_3)
// added missing plural forms
{
  "foo_male": "bar-male-he",
  "room_one": "חדר",
  "room_two": "חדרים",
  "room_few": "rooms",
  "room_other": "rooms"
}

// ja/namespace.json

// keeps exising fields
// removed plural form since there is no plural form in Japanese
{
  "foo_male": "bar-male-ja",
  "room": "部屋"
}
