Convert Localization To Dots
Command line tool that replaces underscores in iOS localization file keys with dots so that tools like SwiftGen could correctly convert them to enums.
Using
The app accepts two required arguments – source file path and destination file path, like this:
# ConvertLocalizationToDots ~/Documents/Localizable_underscores.strings ~/Documents/MyApp/en.lproj/Localizable.strings
Also, you can set path to a config file with optional argiment --config
Config file
Configuration file consists of 3 sections: keys_to_split, keys_to_not_split and filters.
Every value is these sections should be preceeded by a tab, or 2 or more spaces.
First two sections contain list of key prefixes after which an underscore should be, or should not be, replaced with a dot. Filters section contains list of rules by which every row is validated.
A row can be filtered by a key and by a comment. Available rules are !empty, !eq, !prefix, !suffix, !contains.
Example of a config file
keys_to_split:
"confirm"
"shortcut"
keys_to_not_split:
"application"
"registration.phone"
"send"
"settings.use"
filters:
key !empty
comment !eq "для WP"
key !prefix "windows"
key !suffix "wp"
key !contains "android"
key !contains "nfc"
Example
Say, you have a localization file like this:
"order_payment_methods_add_payment_method_msg" = "Enter a new payment method title";
"order_payment_methods_add_payment_method_title" = "Add Payment Method";
"order_payment_methods_edit_payment_method_msg" = "Change a payment method title";
"order_payment_methods_edit_payment_method_title" = "Edit Payment Method";
"order_payment_methods_view_title_select_multiple" = "Select Payment Methods";
"order_payment_methods_view_title_select_one" = "Select a Payment Method";
"order_payment_methods_view_title" = "Payment Methods";
"order_settings_list_view_title" = "Orders Settings";
"order_settings_list_order_payment_methods" = "Order Payment Methods";
"order_settings_list_order_statuses" = "Order Statuses";
"order_status_details_view_order_status" = "Status";
"order_status_details_view_status_commentary" = "Commentary";
"order_status_details_view_status_set_date" = "Setting date";
After conversion you'll get next result:
"order.payment_methods.add_payment_method.msg" = "Enter a new payment method title";
"order.payment_methods.add_payment_method.title" = "Add Payment Method";
"order.payment_methods.edit_payment_method.msg" = "Change a payment method title";
"order.payment_methods.edit_payment_method.title" = "Edit Payment Method";
"order.payment_methods.view_title" = "Payment Methods";
"order.payment_methods.view_title_select.multiple" = "Select Payment Methods";
"order.payment_methods.view_title_select.one" = "Select a Payment Method";
"order.settings_list.order.payment_methods" = "Order Payment Methods";
"order.settings_list.order.statuses" = "Order Statuses";
"order.settings_list.view_title" = "Orders Settings";
"order.status_details_view.order_status" = "Status";
"order.status_details_view.status.commentary" = "Commentary";
"order.status_details_view.status.set_date" = "Setting date";
And, if you'd used SwiftGen tool, you'd get this lovely enum:
enum L10n {
enum Order {
enum PaymentMethods {
static let viewTitle = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.view_title")
enum AddPaymentMethod {
static let msg = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.add_payment_method.msg")
static let title = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.add_payment_method.title")
}
enum EditPaymentMethod {
static let msg = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.edit_payment_method.msg")
static let title = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.edit_payment_method.title")
}
enum ViewTitleSelect {
static let multiple = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.view_title_select.multiple")
static let one = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.payment_methods.view_title_select.one")
}
}
enum SettingsList {
static let viewTitle = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.settings_list.view_title")
enum Order {
static let paymentMethods = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.settings_list.order.payment_methods")
static let statuses = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.settings_list.order.statuses")
}
}
enum StatusDetailsView {
static let orderStatus = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.status_details_view.order_status")
enum Status {
static let commentary = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.status_details_view.status.commentary")
static let setDate = L10n.tr("Localizable", "order.status_details_view.status.set_date")
}
}
}
}
