Babelish : Chaotically confused, like Babel

Originally created to deal with localizedStrings files (aka CSV-to-iOS-Localizable.strings-converter), this command tool now converts a csv file of translations into the below file formats and vice-versa:

• .strings (iOS)
• .xml (Android)
• .json
• .php

It can also fetch the csv file from GoogleDrive.

Installation

gem install babelish

Requires Ruby 2.0.0 or above.

Or download Latest Release.

  babelish android2csv     # Convert .xml files to CSV file

You can use a configuration file to hold all your commandline arguments into a file. Place a .babelish file (YAML) in your repo where you will run the command. In case you need to reset the Google Drive token you have to delete the .babelish.token file. See .babelish.sample file in the doc folder. as the possible values.

For previous CSV-to-iOS-Localizable.strings-converter, rename your .csvconverter into .babelish.

Usage with Docker

You may also use Babelish with Docker. The usage is similar to your local version.

› docker run netbe/Babelish babelish help
Commands:
  babelish android2csv     # Convert .xml files to CSV file
  babelish csv2android     # Convert CSV file to .xml
  babelish csv2json        # Convert CSV file to .json
  babelish csv2php         # Convert CSV file to .php
  babelish csv2strings     # Convert CSV file to .strings
  babelish csv_download    # Download Google Spreadsheet containing translations
  babelish help [COMMAND]  # Describe available commands or one specific command
  babelish json2csv        # Convert .json files to CSV file
  babelish open FILE       # Open local csv file in default editor or Google Spreadsheet containing translations in default browser
  babelish php2csv         # Convert .php files to CSV file
  babelish strings2csv     # Convert .strings files to CSV file
  babelish version         # Display current version
Options:
  [--verbose], [--no-verbose]

In order to export the output of a conversion, you will need to pipe the result out of the container. An exanple would be

› docker run netbe/Babelish babelish csv2json >> some_file.json
