Translations

Edit your translation files in a synchronized way.

Naming

  1. One translation is your master. This file is always complete and serves as a reference for the slaves.
  2. All translations that are not master are slaves. This means that they may not be up-to-date and can be synchronized with the master using translate.

The default master is en, but you may alter it using the -m <locale> switch.

Usage

Currently there are some commands to alter your translation files:

  • add: Add a new key to all your files
  • update: Update a key in a single file
  • change: Change the meaning of a key in a way that requires a re-translation for all locales
  • move: Move a key around
  • remove: Remove a key from all files
  • translate: Translate all keys that are missing from a given file

And there are commands to view your translations:

  • view: View all translations for a given key

For more info just run translations help <command>.

Requirements

  • All your translations are stored in YAML format and one file per locale called <locale>.yml
  • Optimally you work in a rails project, e.g. your translations are stored in config/locales, but you may alter this location with -d <directory>
  • Optimally you have a master
