arb-files-translator

Automatically translate .arb files into multiple target locales using the googletrans Python library.

Features

• Parses an input .arb file
• Uses Google Translate to generate translations for specified target locales
• Outputs new .arb files for each locale

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• googletrans==3.1.0a0 (Ensure this exact version for stability)

Installation

pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0

Usage

1. Fill the input.arb file with key-value pairs you want translated.

2. In main.py, configure the following variables:

   • inputLocale: the language code of the original file (e.g. en)
   • outputLocales: a list of target language codes (e.g. ["fr", "es", "de"])

3. Run the script:

python main.py

Example

// input.arb
{
  "hello": "Hello",
  "goodbye": "Goodbye"
}

Output files generated:

• app_fr.arb
• app_es.arb
• app_de.arb

Each containing the translated strings.

Notes

• Translations are machine-generated; manual review is recommended.
• Be cautious of rate limits when translating many entries or using many locales.
