    example) "hello world" is english

  • to => provide your target languages

    example) if you provide these languages, "de", "fr", your localizable.strings will be translated into german and french

const fs = require("fs");
const iosTranslator = require("ios_translator");

const jsonData = fs.readFileSync(
  "./your_google_service_account_credential.json"
);
const credential = JSON.parse(jsonData);

iosTranslator.configure({
  googleApiCredential: credential,
  googleApiProjectId: credential.project_id,
  log: false,
});

const options = {
  input: "./path/to/localizable.strings",

const translatedJSON = await iosTranslator.generateLocalizableStrings(options);

Code Example - all features

// Configure
const fs = require("fs");
const iosTranslator = require("ios_translator");

const jsonData = fs.readFileSync(
  "./your_google_service_account_credential.json"
);
const credential = JSON.parse(jsonData);

iosTranslator.configure({
  googleApiCredential: credential,
  googleApiProjectId: credential.project_id,
  log: false,
});

// returns 'bonjour'
const result = await iosTranslator.translate("hello", { from: "en", to: "fr" });

// returns objects (available languages for translation), [{ code: 'tk', name: 'Turkmen' }, { code: 'uk', name: 'Ukrainian' },]
const result = await iosTranslator.listAvailableLanguages();

// returns objects and generate `localizable.strings`
// Object will look like this
/*
    {
        "ko": {
            "key": "hello",
            "value": "안녕하세요"
        }
    }
*/
const options = {
  input: "./path/to/localizable.strings",
  output: "./path/to/yourdirectory",
  from: "en",
  to: ["de", "fr"],
};
const translatedJSON = await iosTranslator.generateLocalizableStrings(options);
