i18n-xlsx

Typesafe i18n

This module tries to solve problem of managing i18n data via transpiling excel files with i18n data into other typesafe formats. Currently supported formats are:

• Typescript
• Go

Installation

npm install -g i18n-xlsx

Tutorial (Typescript)

1. Create excel file with i18n data:

Header should contain code column and list of supported languages (in this case hr and en). Library also supports multiple sheets.

1. Use i18n-xlsx to create typescript file

i18n-xlsx -i translations.xlsx -o i18n.ts

Check i18n.ts file. It will have following output.

interface ISheet1 {
  testKey1: string;
  testKey2: string;
}
 
interface ISheets {
  sheet1: ISheet1;
}
 
enum Language {
  hr = 'hr',
  en = 'en',
}
 
const all: { [key in string]: ISheets } = {
  hr: {
    sheet1: {
      testKey1: 'vrijednost 1',
      testKey2: 'vrijednost 2',
    },
  },
  en: {
    sheet1: {
      testKey1: 'value 1',
      testKey2: 'value 2',
    },
  },
};
 
export default all;

1. Use generated code

import i18n from './path/to/i18n.ts';
 
console.log(i18n.en.sheet1.testKey1); // typesafe + intellisense
