PyBabel-JSON

Release notes

• 0.2.0 - Added Python 3 support.
• 0.1.0 - Initial release.

Installation

pip install pybabel-json

Usage

Add [json: path/\*\*.json] to babel.cfg

Dependencies

• Uses javascript lexer built in into babel, so no dependencies but babel itself

Key features:

• Two JSON formats supported: plain string and custom gettext_string format
• Keys are usually ignored, the only exception are objects with "type":"gettext_string"
• Keys are mainly used for logical separation of lists of values that should be translated
• Lists also supported, both in plain strings and gettext_string format
