The source language en doesn't exist. about json-autotranslate

[leolabs]

json-autotranslate expects the locales directory to have one subdirectory per language. So instead of locales/en.default.json, your source file would need to be located at locales/en/default.json.

You can then run the tool with yarn json-autotranslate -i locales -s deepl-free -c <your API key>

I hope this helps :)

The tool should have no issues working with deeply-nested JSON objects, but the error message suggests that the matcher expects variables to be defined as {variable} in the text. If you define your variables as {{variable}}, then you might want to switch to i18next's matcher by adding -m i18next to your command.

I hope this helps :)

Thanks a ton @leolabs for the clarification! That worked.

I've another problem/question...

My JSON is "heavily" indented...

example:

{
  "general": {
    "home": "Home",
    "accessibility": {
      "success": {
        "thankYou": "Thank you. Your email was sent",
        "commentSubmitted": "Your comment was submitted."
      },
      "error": "Error:",
      "loading": "loading"
    },
    "meta": {
      "tags": "Tags",
      "page": "page"
    }
  },

when I try to run this thru json-autotranslate, I get a:

An error has occurred:
Expected identifier but "{" found.
SyntaxError: Expected identifier but "{" found.

I suppose json-autotranslate isn't able to work with files that are indented that much, is that right? Is there anything I can do to make it work?

Thanks again.

Yes, adding -m i18next worked perfectly. Thank you very much for the help @leolabs.

Glad I could help :)
