🌍 I18n-cli

CLI tool for quick i18n additions

🏆 Motivation

Working with translations can be so boring & annoying when you are trasnlating a big project with 3 or more languages availables. So I wanted to have a node tool for inserting ASAP the sentences for i18n.

🧪 Features

• Update a the sentences based on a key
• Delete the sentences based on a key
• Export the locales to CSV
