Traduora CLI

CLI for traduora translation management

Config

Options are set using one of the following

package.json property "traduora"
.tradourarc
.traduorarc.json
.traduorarc.yaml
.traduorarc.yml
.traduorarc.js
traduora.config.js

In combination with all-caps snake cased variants of the property names in process.env, prefixed with TR. E.g TR_BASE_URL is equivalent to base-url in config files.

Note that the prefix itself is also configurable but it can not be set via environment variables.

CLI Script

CLI-Scripts are usable as npm scripts:

Example package.json scripts:

    "//": "make traduora cli accessible in the project directory context -> ease of use for build steps",
    "traduora": "traduora"

If you want to have your environment defined in a .env file, you can use dotenv, too:

    "traduora": "node --require 'dotenv/config' ./node_modules/.bin/traduora"

pull

To fetch the translated terms, run

traduora --task pull
# short:
traduora -t pull

push

To perform remote creation for each new term found in push-from

traduora --task push
# short:
traduora -t push

Input files must be jsonflat. Input files are matched with glob patterns. The message keys must be unique across all aggregated files.

example

{
  "menu.home.button": "Home",
  "messages.welcome": "Welcome {user.displayName}"
}

How to use a unsuited input json schema

In order to transform the output of babel-plugin-react-intl to the desired format, consider using jq.

As an example

jq --slurp --sort-keys \
  'add | reduce .[] as $item ({} ; . + {"\($item.id)": $item.defaultMessage})' \
   ./intl/push/**/*.json \
   >| intl/push/aggregated.jsonflat

Which might be used as a preliminary step ahead of pushing the translations to traduora. Combined with dotenv:

...
  "traduora": "node --require 'dotenv/config' ./node_modules/.bin/traduora"
  "preintl:push": "jq --slurp --sort-keys 'add | reduce .[] as $item ({} ; . + {\"\\($item.id)\": $item.defaultMessage})' $(find ./intl/push/* -name \"*.json\") >| build/messages/aggregated.jsonflat",
  "intl:push": "npm run traduora -- -t push",

In conjunction with traduora-config

"push-from": "<rootDir>/intl/push/aggregated.jsonflat",

translations

traduora --task translations --output ./locales.json
# short:
traduora -t translations -o ./locales.json

Obtains the locale codes which have translations. For example the resulting ./locales.json may look like

{
  "de_DE": {
    "region": "Germany",
    "language": "German",
    "id": "0ab1eed9-f98a-465a-93fd-6b3a67353164"
  },
  "en_GB": {
    "region": "United Kingdom",
    "language": "English",
    "id": "544b64bb-2679-41fb-b39b-5758edbe092a"
  }
}

Options:

Strings containing <rootDir>, <locale> or <hash:\d+> will be interpolated. Examples:

• <rootDir> will be replaced with the absolute Path to the project root
• <locale> will be replaced respective of context.
• <hash:6> will be replaced with the hash of the respective file, shortened to 6 characters.

property	value		env var (default)
client-id	{String}	client id for the client credentials flow	TR_CIENT_ID
client-secret	{String}	Warning take care not to expose it in version control client key for the client credentials flow	TR_CIENT_SECRET
project-id	{String}	traduora project ID	TR_PROJECT_ID
base-url	{String}	<scheme>://<host>/<basePath> – e.g. https://traduora.example.com/	TR_BASE_URL
base-path	{String}	most likely /api/v1/ is correct	TR_BASE_PATH
env-prefix	{String="TR"}	Prefix to assume when interpolating environment variables for config options.	n/a
locale	{String}	locale for authoring translation terms	n/a
locales	{Array<String>}	locales to obtain from traduora	n/a
pull-to	{String="<rootDir>/intl/pull/<locale>.<hash:6>.json"}	TBD	n/a
push-from	{GlobString,Array<GlobString}=["<rootDir>/intl/push/**/<locale>.json"]	The interpolated Paths are serving as a pattern for globby	n/a
pull-format	{String="jsonflat"}	TBD	n/a
root-dir	{[String]}	Means to override <rootDir>	TR_ROOT_DIR
max-retry	{Integer=5}	Retries if API calls fail	n/a

Semver

Until traduora-cli reaches a 1.0 release, breaking changes will be released with a new minor version. For example 0.5.1, and 0.5.4 will have the same API, but 0.6.0 will have breaking changes.

Recommendations

Using React?

Let your react components be the source of truth where i18n key-value pairs come to existence. Try

• react-intl and
• Extract Intl messages

Using Eslint?

• Prevent usage of string literals in JSX (react/jsx-no-literals)
