grunt-translation-spreadsheet-sync
A grunt plugin to manage translation import/export to and from a google spreadsheet
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
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-translation-spreadsheet-sync --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-translation-spreadsheet-sync');
The "translation_spreadsheet_sync" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named translation_spreadsheet_sync
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
An example config could look like:
grunt.initConfig({
translation_spreadsheet_sync: {
options: {
spreadsheetId: '-your google spreadsheet id-',
credentials: require('path/to/your/secret/credential/service')
},
import: {
options: {
mode: 'import'
},
files: {
src: 'src/languages/'
},
},
upload: {
options: {
mode: 'upload'
},
files: {
src: 'src/languages/*.json'
}
}
}
});
Options
options.credentials
Type: Object
Default value: Credentials for [email protected]
In order to authenticate to a google spreadsheet, you need a google drive api client.
If you trust me enough, you could also grant read/write access to your translation spreadsheet the the default service email [email protected]
. Please note, that this will make you dependent on any changes that google or myself do to this service, it is recommended to use your own credentials.
The object needs to have this structure:
{
"comment": "This is added by me, put here some info for yourself, to remind you what this is actually about, if you like ;)",
"type": "service_account",
"project_id": "...",
"private_key_id": "...",
"private_key": "never to be shared",
"client_email": "e.g.: [email protected]",
"client_id": "...",
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
"client_x509_cert_url": "..."
}
options.defaultLocaleName
Type: String
Default value: 'default'
If no locale is provided or could be parsed, the defaultLocaleName is used instead.
options.defaultFallback
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Fills empty columns automatically with the value from the defaultLocale - usefull if always complete translations have to be provided per file.
options.fileBaseName
Type: String
Default value: (empty string)
If set, the translation files will be changed to <fileNaseName>-<lang code>_<country code>
, for example myplugin-de_AT
.

The selected Worksheet to work with. the gid can be taken from the spreatsheet url: #gid=1470321642
options.mode
Type: Enum
Default value: null
Put import
, if you want to sync from google spreadsheet to your project or put upload
if it should go the other way around.
options.namespaces
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
If multiple base filenames are used in a project, this can be turned on, to still have the properties uploaded to one spreadsheet. It will expect the first collumn of the sheet to be filled with the namespace.
options.namespaceSeparator
Type: String
Default value: '-'
If namespaces
or fileBaseName
is used, this is the separating character. For example the first _
in messages_en_US.json
.
options.translationFormat
Type: Enum
Default value: locale_json
Possible Values:
locale_json
(translations are stored in simple key/value json files)json_structure
(translations are broken down to a json tree spereated by the . character)gettext
(for the work with po and mo files)wordpress
(generates the dedicated wordpress translation files)properties
(for java property files)yml
(for symfony yml translation files)
Please feel free to create a PR or open an issue, if you need an additional translation format.
options.spreadsheetId
