Babelish : Chaotically confused, like Babel

Originally created to deal with localizedStrings files (aka CSV-to-iOS-Localizable.strings-converter), this command tool now converts a csv file of translations into the below file formats and vice-versa:

• .strings (iOS)
• .xml (Android)
• .json
• .php

It can also fetch the csv file from GoogleDrive.

Installation

gem install babelish

Requires Ruby 2.0.0 or above.

Or download Latest Release.

Or via docker: docker run netbe/Babelish babelish help

› babelish help                                                                                                                                                          18:21:30

  babelish open FILE       # Open local csv file in default editor or Google Spreadsheet containing translations in default browser
  babelish php2csv         # Convert .php files to CSV file
  babelish strings2csv     # Convert .strings files to CSV file
  babelish version         # Display current version

Options:
      [--verbose], [--no-verbose]
  -c, [--config=CONFIG]            # Read configuration from given file
                                   # Default: .babelish

You can use a configuration file to hold all your commandline arguments into a file. Place a .babelish file (YAML) in your repo where you will run the command. In case you need to reset the Google Drive token you have to delete the .babelish.token file. See .babelish.sample file in the doc folder. as the possible values.

For previous CSV-to-iOS-Localizable.strings-converter, rename your .csvconverter into .babelish.

Note for docker: In order to export the output of a conversion, you will need to pipe the result out of the container. An example would be

› docker run netbe/Babelish babelish csv2json >> some_file.json
