ATT - Android Translate Tools

A set of python tools for simplyfying translation of Android projects. Insiparation was taken from this idea, which I have greately improved. This repo aims to provide a more complete set of useful utils. All of these are based on AWS translate, and will require installed and configured AWS CLI on your machine.

Tools List

1. strings_add.py - translates given values-XX/strings.xml to new langueges, automatically writes them to dedicated values-XX folders. Best way to add new language [coming soon]
2. strings.py - 'syncs' translations between existing languages. Eg. when values got a new string, this will translate and add the new string to each of existing languages values-XX. This does not override any existing strings. Preferable over strings_add.py, as it preserves existing strings of existing translations, and only adds missing ones.
3. GPP.py - translation functionalities for Gradle Publish Plugin: listings, release notes [coming soon]

Features:

strings_add.py and strings.py:

1. Automatically extract text from strings.xml and reassemble it back for new languages
2. Ignores translatable=false strings
3. Preserves HTML atributes (eg. <i> etc)
4. Performs structure reconstruction after translation (eg. \ n back to \n etc) in order to protect HTML atributes
5. Performs apostrophe reconstruction after translation (' to \') in order to prevent android file errors for langs like it, fr etc.
6. Works both with string and string-array
7. Ability to choose non default source language

strings_add.py only:

1. Supports adding multiple langs at once, space separated
2. Automatically forms values-XX folders for each of the langs
