Awesome localization script

A simple python script to translate any file to different languages providing locale files in JSON format.

Prerequisites

You need to install python to run the script

You can download it here

Usage

Add tags and keys to the file that you want to translate:

<lang>key</lang>

Example

index.html

<li>
  <a href="#services" class="scrollto"><lang>services</lang></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#motivation" class="scrollto"><lang>motivation</lang></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#projects" class="scrollto"><lang>projects</lang></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#team" class="scrollto"><lang>team</lang></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#contact" class="scrollto"><lang>contact</lang></a>
</li>

Create locales folder

Add the locale files to the folder, use the format shown below to add the key and translations, and save the file as .json:

{
  "key": "translation"
}

Example

ca.json

{
  "services": "Serveis",
  "motivation": "Motivació",
  "projects": "Projectes",
  "team": "Equip",
  "contact": "Contacte",
}

Check the configuration of the script, you can change the following options:

OPEN_TAG = "<lang>"
CLOSE_TAG = "</lang>"
LOCALE_FILES_PATH = "locales/"
INPUT_FILE_PATH = "index.html"
OUTPUT_FILE_NAME = "index.html"

• OPEN_TAG & CLOSE_TAG: You can change the open and close tag to indicate the keys
• LOCALE_FILES_PATH: Path to locales folder
• INPUT_FILE_PATH: Path and filename to input file
• OUTPUT_FILE_NAME: Filename to output file

Finally execute the script with:

python translate.py

After running the script you will find a folder for each language file you provided with the translation inside.

Example

ca/index.html

<li>
  <a href="#services" class="scrollto">Serveis</a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#motivation" class="scrollto">Motivació</a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#projects" class="scrollto">Projectes</a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#team" class="scrollto">Equip</a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="#contact" class="scrollto">Contacte</a>
</li>
