grunt-pseudoloc v0.0.1

Simple pseudolocalization of files.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-concat --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');

Pseudoloc Task

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named pseudoloc to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
pseudoloc: {
  options: {
    // Task specific options go here
  },

  // A simple example of a one-to-one mapping of an english file
  english: {
    src: 'i18n/en.json',
    dest: 'i18n/qa.json'
  },

  // More advanced example that does dynamic mapping of all resource files
  // to *-pseudo.json
  all: {
    options: {
      // Target specific options go here
    },
    expand: true,
    cwd: 'i18n/',
    src: [ '*.json', '!*-pseudo.json' ],
    dest: 'i18n',
    ext: '-pseudo.json'
  }
});

Options

This module uses the pseudoloc node module. Reference it for more details on the options.

options.prepend

Type: String Default value: [!!

Specifies the string that should be prepended to the beginning of pseudolocalized strings. The prepended and appended strings help to locate strings that have been cut off or improperly concatenated together.

options.append

Type: String Default value: !!]

Specifies the string that should be appended to the end of pseudolocalized strings. The prepended and appended strings help to locate strings that have been cut off or improperly concatenated together.

options.delimiter

options.startDelimiter

options.endDelimiter

Type: String Default value: %

Specifies the token delimiter. Any characters between token delimiters will not be pseudolocalized. Tokens are used to replace data within localized strings. You can either specify a single delimiter or use startDelimiter and endDelimiter to specify the delimiters seperately.

options.extend

Type: Number Default value: 0

Extends the width of the string by the specified percentage. Useful if you will be localizing into languages such as German which can be 30% longer than English.

options.override

Type: String Default value: undefined

Specifies an override character that all characters in the string will be replaced with. Used to easily spot unlocalized strings.

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
