Babelish : Chaotically confused, like Babel
Originally created to deal with localizedStrings files (aka CSV-to-iOS-Localizable.strings-converter), this command tool now converts a csv file of translations into the below file formats and vice-versa:
- .strings (iOS)
- .xml (Android)
- .json
- .php
It can also fetch the csv file from GoogleDrive.
Installation
gem install babelish
Requires Ruby 2.1.0 or above.
Or download Latest Release.
Or via docker: docker run netbe/babelish babelish help
Usage
› babelish help 18:21:30
Commands:
babelish android2csv # Convert .xml files to CSV file
babelish csv2android # Convert CSV file to .xml
babelish csv2json # Convert CSV file to .json
babelish csv2php # Convert CSV file to .php
babelish csv2strings # Convert CSV file to .strings

You can use a configuration file to hold all your commandline arguments into a file.
Place a .babelish file (YAML) in your repo where you will run the command. In case you need to reset the Google Drive token you have to delete the .babelish.token file.
See .babelish.sample file in the doc folder. as the possible values.
For previous CSV-to-iOS-Localizable.strings-converter, rename your .csvconverter into .babelish.
Note for docker: In order to export the output of a conversion, you will need to pipe the result out of the container. An example would be
› docker run netbe/babelish babelish csv2json >> some_file.json
