react-intl-universal-pseudo-converter
This tool converts a locale source file as the ones used by react-intl-universal and outputs a new file with pseudo-localized strings. The pseudo-localization is carried out by 1stdibs icu-pseudo-translate utility.
Example
I have written a simple example on Repl.it. Simply visit the website, and modify the locale.json file. Once done, hit the run
button. The file will be generated on the file system. Since Repl.it doesn't know there is a new file, the UI won't refresh by itself until you make a change, so go ahead and try to add a new file or folder and you will see the pseudo file appear.
The input file is the following:
{
"Company_label": "Title for the company",
"navigation": {
"menu_open": "Open the menu",
"account_login": "Log in to the account",
"account_logout": "Log out of the account"
},
"about_page": {
"title": "About page",
"Subtitle": "Something about the about page"
}
}
The output from the utility is the following:
{
"Company_label": "Tïƭℓè ƒôř ƭhè çô₥ƥáñ¥",
"navigation": {
"menu_open": "Óƥèñ ƭhè ₥èñú",
"account_login": "£ôϱ ïñ ƭô ƭhè áççôúñƭ",
"account_logout": "£ôϱ ôúƭ ôƒ ƭhè áççôúñƭ"
},
"about_page": {
"title": "Âβôúƭ ƥáϱè",
"Subtitle": "§ô₥èƭhïñϱ áβôúƭ ƭhè áβôúƭ ƥáϱè"
}
}
