npm install csv-i18n> Convert CSV to json translation files
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
``shell`
npm install csv-i18n --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
`js`
grunt.loadNpmTasks('csv-i18n');
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().`js
grunt.initConfig({
csv_json_i18n: {
your_target: {
translations:{
key: "code", // the name of the column in the csv file which is the key of the translation
languages: ["heb", "eng"] // the name of the column/s you wish to translate
},
files: {
'tmp/i18n.json': ['test/fixtures/i18n.csv']
}
},
},
})
`$3
The above example, will create 2 json files: one for hebrew and one from english.
It will read the file test/fixtures/i18n.csv and will create tmp/i18n.heb.json and tmp/i18n.eng.json files
If i18n.csv will look like this:
code,heb,eng
YES,כן,yes
NO,לא,no
i18n.eng.json for example, will look like this:
{"YES":"yes","NO":"no"}
You can then, obtain the translation file via require/ajax and use it with a simple translation function like this:
js
// obtain LANGFILE somehow...
// then:
var lang = JSON.parse(LANGFILE);
var translate = function(code) {
if(str == "" ) return "";
if(lang[str]) return lang[str];
}
