translate-i18n-json

Translate-i18n-json is a node.js script that helps quickly generate i18next translations using google translate.

How to use

1. Clone this repository. git clone git@github.com:FlorSanders/translate-i18n-json.git

2. Add json file with base translations in translations folder.

3. Update index.js to point to the correct source file and language.

   // Source translation file
   const sourceTranslation = {
     file: "./translations/en.json", // Source file path
     language: "en",                 // Source file language
   };

   Note: A list of all supported languages is included in languages.js.

4. (Optional) Add json files with old target translations in the translations_old folder. Note: The script will use the existing old translations if available, thus saving bandwidth.

5. Update index.js to point to the correct target files and languages.

   // Target translation files
   const targetTranslations = [
     {
       file: "./translations/nl.json", // Target file path
       language: "nl", // Target file language
       oldFile: "./translations_old/nl.json", // (Optional) Old target file (overwrites auto-generated translations)
     },
     {
       file: "./translations/fr.json", // Target file path
       language: "fr", // Target file language
       oldFile: "./translations_old/fr.json", // (Optional) Old target file (overwrites auto-generated translations)
     },
   ];

6. Run the script. npm start
