The little story

Let's say you have a translation to do You open the Translation Editor you copy and paste that into a spreadsheet and the translation team give your that spreadsheet with like 200 new translations.

You are lazy to copy and paste all that line inside the Strings.xml you look on internet hoping somebody already got the same problem and solve it.

You just need to convert the Excel file to CSV and this script will update your strings.xml

I hope that little script is the answer to that.

Action

Clone the repo open terminal and do that

java -jar AndroidTranslationHelper.jar 2 sample/sheet.csv sample/strings.xml

First argument is the column that will be used as a source Second argument is the source of the translation the csv file your translation team worked on Third argument is the strings.xml file that will be updated

If you open strings.xml you will see that the translation are not in French Now let's try

java -jar AndroidTranslationHelper.jar 3 sample/sheet.csv sample/strings.xml

Now the translation are in German

And that's it
