Localization-Patterns-Checker

Kotlin script to prevent invalid conversion errors in the projects with many localization files or with large amount of supported languages.

Script setup

1. Put the local_pattern_checker-1.0.0.jar file wherever it is possible to access the project files.
2. Create conf.txt file with the following values:
   • PATH: path to files.
   • BASE: base pattern or char to identify if the string contains placeholder.
   • PATTERN: placeholder pattern.
   • REGEX-CONFLICT: characters from REGEX syntax, that are contained in the placeholders.
   • FOLDER-FILTER: only files, with parent directory, that contains this value, will be checked.
   • FILE-FILTER: only files, with names contains this value, will be checked.
3. Run the local_pattern_checker-1.0.0.jar file (be sure, that you've placed conf.txt file in the same directory).
4. If there were some errors, check errors.txt file.
5. Check result.txt file, to see the Localization-Patterns-Checker script results.

Useful info

Project can be very unstable:

Now it was only tested with %s and %1$s placeholders, but successfully passed the RTL languages check.

Example of the conf.txt file:

PATH: ./app/src/main/
PATTERN: %s
PATTERN: %1$s
REGEX-CONFLICT: $
BASE: %
FOLDER-FILTER: values
FILE-FILTER: string

There is ready-to-use jar file in the project's root folder.
