A multilingual application, needs translation files in the project to support multiple languages. Hence, developers need language files in JSON file format, and these JSON files need to have translation values for each key.
Assume that we have a JSON file name as
en.json
, and it has a content as{ "nestedObject": { "nameOfTheArea": { "title": "Title", "subTitle": "Subtitle", "context": "Context" } } }
Since different teams are handling the translations, and they can't work on the JSON files because they are not specialized on the app development, most of them can work on an EXCEL sheet easily.
i18n JSON to XLSX Converter CLI tool helps developers to provide an EXCEL sheet ready to include translations for the other teams. It can be filled as an EXCEL file with one, or many translation columns they want to provide, and when the translation value implementation is finished, developers can get back the sheet, and convert the EXCEL sheet into JSON format again, easily.
If the provided EXCEL sheet has only one translation value column, the output JSON file will be only one, and it will have the column title as file name. In this case it'll be en.json
If the translation team fill out the values in the EXCEL sheet for only one language column for example
EN
, in this case the sheet needs to be in the format of
Key EN nestedObject.nameOfTheArea.title
Title
nestedObject.nameOfTheArea.title
Subtitle
nestedObject.nameOfTheArea.title
Context
If the provided EXCEL sheet has multiple translation value columns, the output JSON files will be multiple, and they will have the column titles as file names. In this case they'll be en.json
, nl.json
, de.json
,
If the translation team fill out the values in the EXCEL sheet for multiple language column for example
EN
,NL
,DE
, in this case the sheet needs to be in the format of
Key EN NL DE nestedObject.nameOfTheArea.title
Title
Titel
Titel
nestedObject.nameOfTheArea.title
Subtitle
Ondertitel
Untertitel
nestedObject.nameOfTheArea.title
