localizable-sheet-script
A Google Sheets script that will take a sheet in a specific format and return iOS and Android localization files.
What it does
For Android it creates an XML resources file with all of the strings. For iOS it creates a Localizable enum with String constants, and a .strings file.
Installing
- Open your sheet.
- Go to Tools -> Script Editor
- Copy
Code.js, make your edits if needed, and Save.
Usage
- Open your sheet.
- Go to Custom Export and select your iOS or Android.
Sheet format
The script expects the sheet to be formatted in a specific way.
| ... arbitrary number of columns before iOS keys | Identifier iOS | Identifier Android | English text | German text | ... |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| place whatever you want in here | login_button_title | login_button_title | Login | Einloggen | |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
The texts in bold cannot be changed! The script depends on them to know which identifier is which. The other texts don't matter.
The first row must always contain headers, and not the actual strings.
The number of languages depends on the NUMBER_OF_LANGUAGES variable in the script, and new languages can be added by adding a new column on the right and incrementing that number in the script.
The position of the first (iOS) column that is relevant to the script is changed with the FIRST_COLUMN_POSITION variable in the script. By default it's 1 (the first column).
Configuring
-
NUMBER_OF_LANGUAGES: The number of language columns to use. -
FIRST_COLUMN_POSITION: The position of the iOS identifiers (the first column relevant to the script). Starting from 1. -
IOS_INCLUDES_LOCALIZABLE_ENUM: Whether or not to create anLocalizableenumcontaining all of the keys asstatic letconstants.
Exported files
The exported files are the standard format (strings.xml or Localizable.strings) for the specific platforms. iOS also includes a Localizable enum which contains all of the keys as static let properties for code-completion and less typos.
