About

This project contains a converter, which can transform Java property files used for localizations into Titanium Appcelerator XML files.

This is useful, if you use other tools than a simple text editor for maintaining your localizations, for instance Pootle or Weblate.

Download

Download the latest version from https://github.com/downloads/Communote/Converter-Properties-To-Titanium-XML/converter-0.2.jar

Usage

1. Create strings.locale files instead of strings.xml within your Titanium projects. We used locale as extension, because of some UTF-8 problems. Simple treat them as they were Java properties.
2. Edit your localization in the strings.locale files
3. Configure Titanium Studio to use the converter as an additional builder:
   1. Open the projects settings and navigate to builders
   2. Add a new builder “LanguageConverter” and configure it like this
      1. Location: Path to your Java executable, i.e. /usr/bin/java
      2. Working Directory: ${build_project}
      3. Arguments: “-jar /path/to/converter.jar”
      4. Optional: Configure “Build Options” for your needs, for instance to let it only run on build and clean.
   3. Move the builder to the top of the list of builders
