aem-i18n-convert

Description

Use aem-i18n-convert to convert JSON format dictionaries to sling:MessageEntry format. This is highly beneficial in large production environments with continuously changing keys.

If you're using a sling:MessageEntry format, you can create content packages with specific keys that may need to be rolled into a release, without releasing the whole dictionary (and merging it with production values ahead of time).

If you're using JSON format dictionaries, you will need to either manually add new keys / update existing keys, or merge all of the production values ahead of time (which still leaves a window of time where keys may be updated in production just before you release your updated dictionary).

Keys are automatically sorted alphabetically to make hand merging easier if necessary.
