Getting started

To be able to run the scripts yourself, first you'll have to run:

npm install

or

yarn install

Scripts

Create source locale

A source locale is a json file containing a collection of everything in the current version of the 5e-database that would be considered translatable. To create the source locale, run:

npm run create-source-locale

or

yarn create-source-locale

When you create a source locale, you can also create a set of templates containing everything that would not be considered translatable, along with placeholders for the translatable content. To create the source locale and the set of template run:

npm run create-source-locale --generate-templates

or

yarn create-source-locale --generate-templates

This will create locale (dist/locales/en/*.json) and template (src/templates/*.json) files for each domain. The contents of the English locale files can then be used as the source locale when translating the content into other languages.

Known issues

1. Traits: There's a duplicate entry for each color of Draconic Ancestry and they in turn have a duplicate of the Breath Weapon trait in the locale. Logic similar to that in Features (ignore parenthesized suffix in key) should be used here as well.
2. Monsters: Equipment types melee, ability and ranged have mistakenly been added to monster types. Regex needs to be improved.
3. Classes: Newly added proficiency choice and starting equipment descriptions should be added to the common domain to prevent duplicates and make for a more desirable translation path.
4. Features: Some of the translation paths for subfeature options (such as fightling style and dragon ancestor) are incorrect, resulting in empty entries for source language ("en": "") when populating the templates.
5. Subclasses: Translation paths for level prerequisites are incorrect, resulting in empty entries for source language ("en": "") when populating the templates.
6. Documentation: Populate templates feature is currently undocumented

Format
