Grunt i18n processor

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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:

npm install grunt-i18nprocessor --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-i18nprocessor');

The "i18nprocessor" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named i18nprocessor to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  i18nprocessor: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

The task is designed to take a JSON i18n Langauge file and split it into separate language specific files

{
    "validateFail_number": {
        "en": "Numeric value required",
        "de": "Numerischer Wert erforderlich",
        "fr": "Valeur num�rique obligatoire",
        "nl": "Numerieke waarde verplicht",
        "fi": "T�yt� numeerinen arvo"
    },
    "validateFail_email": {
        "en": "Valid email address required",
        "de": "G�ltige E-Mail-Adresse erforderlich.",
        "fr": "Adresse mail valide obligatoire",
        "nl": "Geldig e-mailadres verplicht",
        "fi": "Lis�� toimiva s�hk�postiosoite"
    }
}

will produce separate files for each language..

eg. lang.en.js...

{
 "copyrightNotice":"My Company (c) Copyright 2006-2015 All Rights Reserved.",
 "strings":{
        "validateFail_number":"Numeric value required",
        "validateFail_email":"Valid email address required"
    }
}

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  i18nprocessor: {
    options: {
        languages: ['en','de'],
        pretty: false,
        copyright: "MyCompany (c) 2015"
    },
    ux4: {
        'src': 'myappi18nfile.json',
        'dest': '/i18n/'
    },
  },
});
