tsv-i18njs v0.1.3

tsv-i18njs

Convert i18n translation texts mageged on Google Sheets into i18n-js style translation files.

Installation

npm install tsv-i18njs --save-dev

Usage

node_modules/.bin/tsv-i18njs.js \
  'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSUUk1_F-VxePs-exsB6R2F3fVIcAdxRRVLxgxz0uV4_Y0xPFDfMrLjvMAHQeYO4EXelqaJ2fgiNmF2/pub?gid=0&single=true&output=tsv' \
  ./

You can obtain the TSV URL by following menu [File] → [Publish to the web] on Google Sheets.

The command generates i18n-js style translation files ready to use with i18n-js in current directory.

const I18n = require("i18n-js")
I18n.translations = {
  en: require('./en-US.js'),
  ja: require('./ja-JP.js'),
  zh: require('./zh-CN.js'),
}
I18n.locale = "en-US"
I18n.t("screen.welcome.hello") // returns Hello

Each generated file looks like this.

// THIS FILE IS GENERATED BY tsv-i18njs
// DO NOT MODIFY DIRECTLY.
module.exports = {
  "screen": {
    "welcome": {
      "hello": "Hello"
    }
  },
  "currency_sign": "$",
  "ok": "OK",
  "cancel": "Cancel"
}

If you are an ES paranoia, add --format=es to the command line to generate the file with export default instead of module.exports.

with gulp

with React Native Expo

import I18n = require("i18n-js")

import en from './translations/en'
import ja from './translations/ja'
import zh from './translations/zh'

async componentWillMount() {
  I18n.translations = { en, ja, zh }
  await I18n.locale = Expo.Util.getCurrentLocaleAsync()
}
