- Merges the .json files created by ngx-translate-extract into a single CSV file.
- Splits the translated CSV file into separate .json files to be taken into use.
It helps with providing a format that can be easier handled by people that will perform the translation.
Note: It works only with files that were created separated, one .json file per language.
Example
For example, using ngx-translate-extract command the following files were created:
en.json
{
"prop1": {
"prop2": {
"prop3": "english, string"
}
},
"root": "root",
"elonly": "",
"enonly": "english"
}
el.json
{
"prop1": {
"prop2": {
"prop3": "greek,string"
}
},
"root": "riza",
"enonly": "",
"elonly": "greek"
}
It will produce the following CSV:
"termID","en","el"
"prop1.prop2.prop3","english, string","greek,string"
"root","root","riza"
"elonly","","greek"
"enonly","english",""
Install using npm:
npm install ngx-translate-extract-csv --save-dev
Create a "scripts" entry in package.json
...
scripts: {
"extract:csv" : "ngx-translate-extract-csv ..."
}
Usage:
Merge JSON files created with ngx-translate-extract to a single CSV file and vice versa.
--------
Usage:
ngx-translate-extract-csv -l <languages> [-i <input path>] [-o <output path>] [-s <separator>]
ngx-translate-extract-csv -r -i <input csv file> [-o <output path>] [-s <separator>]
ngx-translate-extract-csv -h | --help
ngx-translate-extract-csv -v | --version
Options:
<languages> : comma separated values of the input json files. Assumes .json extension
<input path> : location of the .json files. Default "./src/assets/i18n"
<output path> : the path of the output file. If ommited the results are printed in screen only.
<separator> : the separator character. Must be 1 character long. Defaults to "," (comma) separator.
-r : Reverse operation. Split a CSV file to multiple JSON files.
<input csv file> : The CSV file to be processed
<output path> : The target folder in wich the .json files will be created. Default "./src/assets/i18n"
Example: Base usage
By default, it is assumed that language files are located in ./src/assets/i18n.
The user has created en.json and el.json.
The following command will only print the results in screen:
ngx-translate-extract-csv -l en,el
Example: Defining an output file
ngx-translate-extract-csv -o extracted/translation.csv -l en,el
Example: Defining an input directory
ngx-translate-extract-csv -i ./lang-files -o ./output.csv -l en,el
Example: Splitting the CSV into json files.
We assume that input file is ./translation.csv and we wish to output our files to ./tranlatedJson folder.
ngx-translate-extract-csv -r -i ./translation.csv -o ./translatedJson
