Xliff

This gem is for parsing and building xliff files.

Usage

The gem is meant to handle two tasks – reading xliff files and creating new ones.

Reading xliff files

bundle = Xliff::Bundle.from_path('path/to/my/file.xliff')
bundle.files.each do |file|
    puts "File: #{file.original}:"
    file.entries.each do |entry|
        puts "#{entry.source}:#{entry.target}"
    end
end

Creating xliff files

bundle = Xliff::Bundle.new(path: 'path/to/my/file.xliff')
file = Xliff::File.new(original: 'info.plist', source_language: 'en', target_language: 'fr')
entry = Xliff::Entry.new(id: 1234, source: 'hello', target: 'bounjour')
file.add_entry(entry)
bundle.add_file(file)

xml = bundle.to_s

In the above example, xml reads:

<xliff>
  <file original="info.plist" source-language="en" target-language="fr" datatype="plaintext">
    <body>
      <trans-unit id="1234" xml:space="default">
        <source>hello</source>
        <target>bounjour</target>
      </trans-unit>
    </body>
  </file>
</xliff>

Development

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bundle exec console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
