    ]
  }
}
*/

4. Translate JSON file (supports deep objects)

• Import the library to your code.

For JavaScript

const translator = require('@parvineyvazov/json-translator');

For TypeScript:

import * as translator from '@parvineyvazov/json-translator';

/*
Let`s translate our json file into another language and save it into the same folder of en.json
*/

let path = 'C:/files/en.json'; // PATH OF YOUR JSON FILE (includes file name)

await translator.translateFile(
  path,
  translator.languages.English,
  translator.languages.German
);

── files
   ├── en.json
   └── de.json

---

5. Translate JSON file into Multiple languages (supports deep objects)

• Import the library to your code.

For JavaScript

const translator = require('@parvineyvazov/json-translator');

For TypeScript:

import * as translator from '@parvineyvazov/json-translator';

/*
Let`s translate our json file into multiple languages and save them into the same folder of en.json
*/

let path = 'C:/files/en.json'; // PATH OF YOUR JSON FILE (includes file name)

await translator.translateFile(path, translator.languages.English, [
  translator.languages.Cebuano,
  translator.languages.French,
  translator.languages.German,
  translator.languages.Hungarian,
  translator.languages.Japanese,
]);

── files
   ├── en.json
   ├── ceb.json
   ├── fr.json
   ├── de.json
   ├── hu.json
   └── ja.json

6. Ignore words

To ignore words on translation use {{word}} OR {word} style on your object.

{
  "one": "Welcome {{name}}",
  "two": "Welcome {name}",
  "three": "I am {name} {{surname}}"
}

...translating to spanish

{
  "one": "Bienvenido {{name}}",
  "two": "Bienvenido {name}",
  "three": "Soy {name} {{surname}}"
}

• jsontt also ignores the URL in the text which means sometimes translations ruin the URL in the given string while translating that string. It prevents such cases by ignoring URLs in the string while translating.

  • You don't especially need to do anything for it, it ignores them automatically.

{
  "text": "this is a puppy https://shorturl.at/lvPY5"
}

...translating to german

{
  "text": "das ist ein welpe https://shorturl.at/lvPY5"
}

7. CLI commands

• translate

jsontt file.json

jsontt folder/file.json

jsontt "folder\file.json"

jsontt "C:\folder1\folder\en.json"

• with proxy

jsontt file.json proxy.txt

Result will be in the same folder as the original JSON file.

• help

jsontt -h

jsontt --help

How to contribute?

• Clone it

git clone https://github.com/mololab/json-translator.git

• Install dependencies (with using yarn - install yarn if you don't have)

yarn

• Show the magic:

  • Update CLI

    Go to file src/cli/cli.ts

  • Update translation

    Go to file src/core/core.ts

  • Update JSON operations(deep dive, send translation request)

    Go to file src/core/json_object.ts

  • Update JSON file read/write operations

    Go to file src/core/json_file.ts

  • Update ignoring values in translation (map/unmap)

    Go to file src/core/ignorer.ts

• Check CLI locally

For checking CLI locally we need to link the package using npm

npm link

Or you can run the whole steps using make

make run-only-cli

Make sure your terminal has admin access while running these commands to prevent any access issues.
