XLIFF to JSON Converter for Angular

The @ni/xliff-to-json-converter library converts XLIFF translation files to Angular's JSON format so that they can be loaded at runtime in Angular apps.

Usage

  1. Install in your Angular app's devDependencies:

    npm install -D @ni/xliff-to-json-converter

  2. Add scripts to your app's package.json to convert translated XLIFF files to JSON.

    "scripts": {
    "i18n:convert": "npm run i18n:convert:de && npm run i18n:convert:ja && npm run i18n:convert:zh",
    "i18n:convert:de": "xliff-to-json-converter --source src/locales/messages.de.xlf --destination src/locales/messages.de.json",
    "i18n:convert:ja": "xliff-to-json-converter --source src/locales/messages.ja.xlf --destination src/locales/messages.ja.json",
    "i18n:convert:zh": "xliff-to-json-converter --source src/locales/messages.zh.xlf --destination src/locales/messages.zh.json",
},

  3. Ensure those converted files are generated at build time and not checked in to source.
