Chrome Extension i18n tool

Automatically generates Chrome Extension's _locales JSON files from one CSV file.

Starting from column 3 in the CSV file, the values in each column will be output to the corresponding messages.json.

LocaleCode	LanguageRegion	appName	appDesc
en	English	my app	my app desc
en_US	English (USA)	my app en_US	my app desc en_US
en_GB	English (Great Britain)	my app en_GB	my app desc en_GB

The above structure in locale.sample.csv will generate the following content in ./locales_sample/<LocaleCode>/message.json.

{
  "appName": {
    "message": "my app"
  },
  "appDesc": {
    "message": "my app desc"
  }
}

Usage

1. Edit locale.csv

Do not to change the contents of the first two columns.

3. Generate the locale files

# install dependencies
npm install

# build locale file
npm run build
