robopaint-translator

A Python/Node.js halfbreed to help do update batch machine translations for RoboPaint.

Inspired/hard-forked from @docprofsky's i18n-web-translate, this makes use of the same goslate python plugin (installed with pip install goslate), controlled and orchestrated via a node.js script.

None of this is intended for normal human consumption and is quite specific to RoboPaint's needs, but hopefully it's publicity and existence will help someone down the line.

Install

0. Clone the repo as a sibling to your RoboPaint repository. My local RP repo lives in a folder called "code" as it already lives in a robopaint folder. If you keep yours the default "robopaint", you'll need to change the references on lines 7 & 8.
1. npm install
2. pip install goslate
3. Test translation by running python trans.py en es "Hello world!", should return Hola Mundo! on stdout.

Run! 🏃

Run with node translator, it should automatically enumerate and compare all translation JSON files based on the en-US "root" files.

If keys exist in those files, new translated keys will be added to all supported languages. If a new mode/translation file is created (en-US), then entirely new files will be created for all supported languages. Changes are written directly to the JSON files in the sibling repository for easy revisions, and subsequent runs should change nothing.
