How does it work

At first, you need to create configuration file in JSON format that contains configuration of platforms and sources. Here is the detailed instruction for configuring: LocoLaser Config
Example of Android config that gets strings from Google Sheets:

{
    "platform" : "android",
    "source" : {
        "type" : "googlesheet",
        "column_key" : "key",
        "id" : "1KDu0_iel5qoNTKHZI0e4l3Uy52WisdfswYRy_GlFOPtY"
    },
    "locales" : ["en", "fi"],
    "delay" : 30
}

When configuration is created you should run LocoLaser with corresponding set of jar artifacts which supports platforms and sources from configuration. Example of console command that starts LocoLaser:

java -cp "core.jar:platform-mobile.jar:source-googlesheet.jar" ru.pocketbyte.locolaser.Main "localization_config.json"

These artifacts can be downloaded from maven repository. But there is another simplest ways. If you use gradle you can use LocoLaser gradle plugin instead. Otherwise, in LocaLaser iOS Example you can find localize.command, the bash scripts that simplify work with LocoLaser on Unix based systems.

Console arguments

You can override config properties by adding additional console arguments:

• --force or --f - Sets force_import = true.
• -cs - String. Override config property conflict_strategy.
• -delay - Long. Override config property delay.
