translocate - convert CSV translation files to JSON

translocate is a high performance (blazingly fast) CSV translation file to JSON translation file transformer. It takes .csv or .tsv files as input, and will output one file for each language listed as a CSV column.

Requirements for use

There are some requirements for this crate to work properly:

1. The input CSV (or TSV) file has a heading column.

There are currently two internal methods used to transform your localized strings into JSON. The faster and more permissive method only requires that CSV headers are present. The alternate, stricter method deserializes data based on a predefined list of languages. For this alternate mode the language indentifiers in the CSV should:

1. be in the format xx_YY or xx-YY — e.g. en_US.

The current list of languages is da_DK, de_DE, en_US, es_ES, fr_FR, it_IT, nl_NL, pt_BR, pt_PT and sv_SE.

translocate automatically tries the faster conversion method and, if it fails, will fall back to the stricter, slower strategy. If any of the requirements can not be met, interested users are encouraged to make a pull request. Alternatively you may fork the repository and modify for your specific needs, as the license is quite permissive.

If you need to do some processing of your CSV before passing to translocate because of failures during the transformation from CSV to JSON, consider checking out the qsv or xsv crate.
