I18n web translator

This is very simple project-based application for translating locales using i18n-translators-tools. If you want to try it just download it enter the directory and run ruby start.rb

For managing your locales look at i18n-translators-tools gem and the i18n-translate tool. It can merge and propagate changes and convert to different formats (yml, rb, po, ts, properties).

Interesting features

• various formats support (yml, rb, po, ts, properties)
• nested directories
  • can work with locales in nested directories
  • creates new locale in every subdirectory respecting .i18n-translate config in the project directory (you can set there e.g.: :exclude => ['rules'])
  • if you create new subdirectory using web translator it automaticaly creates empty locale file for all language in actual format.
  • default file for every nested directory
• no database required
• various scenarios possible
  • e.g: you can have default file in yaml and other locales in po.

WARNING

• enhanced format for rb and yml file it uses enhanced format used by i18n-translators-tools. If you want to use it with ruby i18n library you either have to strip all extra metadata (after you copy files somewhere):

  i18n-translate strip
  

  or you have to configure and include correct backends in your application eg:

  I18n::Backend::Simple.send(:include, I18n::Backend::PO)
  I18n::Backend::Simple.send(:include, I18n::Backend::Translate)
  I18n::Backend::Simple.send(:include, I18n::Backend::Fallbacks)
  I18n.default_locale = 'default'
  I18n.load_path << Dir[ File.expand_path("../locale/default.yml", __FILE__) ]
  I18n.load_path << Dir[ File.expand_path("../locale/*.po", __FILE__) ]
  I18n.locale = 'cs'
  
  I18n.t("some.key.there")
  

• Because i18n-translate can NOT handle lambdas and procs objects you should store them in different sub-directory and set exclude in project config file (see i18n-translators-tools project how)

• no authentication or authorization

• raise conditions are possible if more people edit the same file
