stringl10nextract

OBSOLETE - USE l10nextract INSTEAD - A programmer's tool to extract string literals from source files.

This command generates output data that can be used as input to the string localization tool stringl10n. Data must be edited.

Limitations

There is not much intelligence implemented. A lot of useless literals get extracted. Remove them by editing.

Installation

Provided that your Go environment is ready, i.e. $GOPATH is set, you just do:

$ go get github.com/hwheinzen/stringl10n/cmd/stringl10nextract

Usage

In your project directory:

$ find . | stringl10nextract > example.json

or:

$ stringl10nextract -dir=. -o=example.json

If you control the source you could prepare all strings you want translated with let's say a prefix 'PACKAGE:'. Then try this one:

$ find . | grep .go | stringl10nextract -regexp=^PACKAGE: > tmp.json

You'll get a file tmp.json that looks something like:

# ... some instructions here ...
{
	 "Copyright": "2015 Itts Mee"
	,"Package":   "example"
	,"ErrorType": "Err"
	,"ErrorPref": ""
	,"GenFile":   "l10n_generated.go"

	,"Vars": [
			 {"Name": "", "Type": ""}
			,{"Name": "", "Type": ""}
	]

	,"Funcs": [
			 {"Name": "", "Function": "", "Path": ""}
			,{"Name": "", "Function": ""}
	]

	,"Texts":	{
		 "I18N:programmer's words 1": [
			 {"Lang": "", "Value": ""}

		 # somesource.go:112:22

		]
		,"I18N:programmer's words 2": [
			 {"Lang": "", "Value": ""}

		 # somesource.go:128:22

		]
	}
}
