Localizator

Download and format your Drive sheet to iOS or Android localized file

Google Drive API KEY

If you don't have already an API key ( and you certainly don't ) visit https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/python Follow the Step 1 and 2. You now have to move the client_secret.json file into the localizator folder.

Dependencies

Python3 is required. If you don't have python3, go on https://www.python.org/downloads/

You may need to install several packages too

pip3 install httplib2
pip3 install google-api-python-client

Usage

python3 localizator.py --help

Nice to Have

I recommend you to create a localizator.sh file containing your command line

Example :

#localizator.sh
python3 localizator/localyzator.py --id=MY_SHEET_ID --path=PATH_TO_RESSOURCE

Then in your bash_profile add the Localize alias as following :

echo "alias Localize='sh localizator.sh'" >> ~/.bash_profile
#update your settings
source ~/.bash_profile

Now, simply run Localize from your workspace!

iOS components

Localizator.swift

Use Localizator.swift to download your Localizable strings from a distant server. It allow you to change your strings files while your app is on the appstore.

Download

Localizator.synchronize { (success) in
            //Do some stuff here, like dismissing loader
 }

Usage

Now you simply have to use the Localizator.localizedString function to localize your text.

//Exemple of strings file
"Hello" = "Bonjour";

myLabel.text = Localizator.localizedString("Hello")
//OR
myLabel.text = ~"Hello"

//You can also do myLabel.text = l("Hello")
//myLabel.text will be "Bonjour"

LocalizedComponents.swift

Localized components are groups of UIComponentns ( as UILabel, UIButton, UITextfield...) which have some additionnal (IBInspectable) attributes.

For example, in you xib/storybord file, you can set the localizedText from LocalizedLabel. At the runtime, the localizedText will be replace by his localized value using the Localizator.localizedString function
