translatordc

Intro

translatordc is a tool for automatic generation of translation files. It uses a translation key file as input, and converts terms from a source language into different target languages.

By default, it uses the Google Translation API, but it is also possible to configure the use of other translation APIs.

Install

npm install -g translatordc

Configuration file

By default, translatordc will look for one of following files in the working directory:

translatordc.config.js | translatordc.config.json

Here's an example translatordc.config.js:

module.exports = {
    inputFile: "input.ts", // (required)
    sourceLanguage: Language.French, // (required)
    targetLanguages: [Language.English, "es"], // (required)
    outputOptions: {
        dir: "./output",
        multipleFiles: true,
        fileOptions: { name: "translated.js" }, // or [ { lang: "en", name: "enTranslated.ts" }, { lang: "es", name: "es.translated.json" }  ]
        translationAPI: {
            name: TranslationAPI.FREE_GOOGLE_TRANSLATE,
            apiKey: ''
        },
        forceTranslation: true,
        keysNotToBeTranslated: ["key1", "key2:(en,fr)", "key3:es"]
    }
};
