Weblate-Luau

This tool is intended to translate simple JSON weblate translation files as described by Weblate Documentation into Lua(u) objects. The output is valid in both Lua and Luau languages and is intended for use in Warsaw Revamped scripts alongside the localization package.

Usage

Generates a Luau table for weblate translations that are represented in basic JSON.

Usage: weblate-lua <ROOT> <OUTPUT>

Arguments:
<ROOT>    The root path of the localization folder
<OUTPUT>  The path to the output file

Options:
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version

Supported Structures

Only languages supported by Battlefield 4 are supported. This includes:

The tool collects translations in order of:

1. A file with the name {frostbite_code}.json
2. All JSON files in a folder named {frostbite_code}
3. A file with the name {additional_code-n}.json
4. All JSON files in a folder named {additional_code-n}

Nested Translations

Nested translations are handled by forming a complete path separated by periods. For example, the following:

{
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": {
        "en": "string"
      }
    }
  }
}

will be converted to:

{
    ["a.b.c"] = {
        en = "string"
    },
}
