Gradle-i18n-plugin

Gradle-i18n-plugin is meant for generating a JSON file with internationalized texts, based on a Google Sheet.

The plugin assumes that you have a series of columns, each representing a locale, as well as a column for the translation key.
The plugin also assumes that the first row of the given column, contains the language code of the locale. See the below image for an example of this setup.

Considering the above example, a JSON file of the following structure would be generated:

{
  "da-DK": {
    "booking.cancel.bookingDoesNotExist": "Bookingen kan ikke findes.",
    "booking.cancel.button.cancelBooking": "Aflys booking",
    ...
  },
  "en-US": {
    "booking.cancel.bookingDoesNotExist": "The booking could not be found.",
    "booking.cancel.button.cancelBooking": "Cancel booking",
    ...
  }
}

NOTE: Blank cells will be filtered out, so make sure that you don't have only partially filled rows.

Setup

To integrate the plugin into your setup, simply add it as a plugin in your build.gradle file.

plugins {
    id "dk.acto.gradle.i18nplugin" version "1.0"
}

This will include the generateI18n task, as well as the i18n configuration block into your setup.

The plugin accepts the following parameters for configuration:

Example configuration:

i18n {
  driveCredentialsFile = layout.projectDirectory.file("driveCredentials.json")
  outputFile = layout.projectDirectory.file("languageCache.json")
  spreadsheetId = "abcdefgh"
  localeColumns = ["C", "D"]
  keyColumn = "E"
}

build.dependsOn(generateI18n)
