JSON based localization editor

Welcome to the localization-editor project

The project is a set of tools to setup json(for now) localization resource files and use them in your cross-platform .NET projects.

Managing localization files

The json files should be in the format {name}.{culture}.json

• {name}: should be the namespace of the localization resource.
• {culture}: follows Microsoft’s conventions of the CultureInfo.Name property.

Their content should be in the format:

// Example 1
// Empty, loads nothing but the column, only if other languages contain the key.
{}

// Example 2

{"key": "value"}

It’s key-value based after all.

For consuming these resources in your clients/apps, see this nuget package.

Roadmap

• Add support for adding a new language from within the app.
• Add support for rolling back changes.
  • Initially implemented via a cancel button.
  • In the future implement undo behaviour.
• Add other data source types.
  • .yml
  • sql - sqlite or an equivalent db provider

Remarks

I am not going to implement behaviour to allow adding a new localization key/row. I believe that it’s developer’s job to define the resources he needs in his app.
