A Google Sheets script that will take a sheet in a specific format and return iOS and Android localization files.

For Android it creates an XML resources file with all of the strings. For iOS it creates a Localizable enum with String constants, and a .strings file.

1. Open your sheet.
2. Go toTools -> Script Editor
3. CopyCode.js, make your edits if needed, andSave.

1. Open your sheet.
2. Go toCustom Export and select youriOS orAndroid.

The script expects the sheet to be formatted in a specific way.

The texts in bold cannot be changed! The script depends on them to know which identifier is which. The other texts don't matter.

Thefirst row mustalways contain headers, and not the actual strings.

The number of languages depends on theNUMBER_OF_LANGUAGES variable in the script, and new languages can be added by adding a new column on the right and incrementing that number in the script.

The position of the first (iOS) column that is relevant to the script is changed with theFIRST_COLUMN_POSITION variable in the script. By default it's1 (the first column).

• NUMBER_OF_LANGUAGES: The number of language columns to use.
• FIRST_COLUMN_POSITION: The position of the iOS identifiers (the first column relevant to the script). Starting from 1.
• IOS_INCLUDES_LOCALIZABLE_ENUM: Whether or not to create anLocalizableenum containing all of the keys asstatic let constants.

The exported files are the standard format (strings.xml orLocalizable.strings) for the specific platforms. iOS also includes aLocalizableenum which contains all of the keys asstatic let properties for code-completion and less typos.
