Stringer

Create localised string files for Android and iOS from a single CSV file.

Why?

As an application grows, maintaining the same product communication gets harder on multiple platforms. Stringer solves this problem by generating platform specific string files from a common CSV file. Currently, the generated files include strings.xml for Android and localizable.strings for iOS.

Working

Run kscript stringer.kt <Path to your csv file>.csv. Files will be generated in a directory named StringerThings on the same path.

See kscript for installation and more information.

OR

1. Create the csv named mobile-strings.csv and place it in $homeDirectory/Downloads. The resulting file path should be $homeDirectory/Downloads/strings.csv (default path of a downloaded file).
2. Execute main() function.
3. The generated files are located in $homeDirectory/Desktop/StringerThings directory.

Features

See sample csv for format.

1. Templating is supported: Any string between < and > will be replaced with %s for Android and %@ for iOS.
2. Any line starting with # is treated as comment.
3. A type and feature can be provided and resource key is generated accordingly for them. Eg: The generated key for no connection, No internet connection found, ERROR, user details will be error_user_details_no_connection.

Note: Ordering matters. CSVs must be ordered as KEY, VALUE, TYPE (optional), FEATURE NAME (optional)
