Introduction

trans-tool is a small but powerful utility aimed at your projects' translation files. It is armed with several validators to watch for common mistakes in translations as well as base strings. It currently loads *.properties files, which is file format often used in Java projects as the trans-tool was born while working on Logisim-evolution.

Example *.properties file looks like simplified version of commonly used INI file:

# Example of *.properties file
programTitle = trans-tool v2.0.0
okButton = "OK"

Internally, trans-tool works on abstract format, thus adding support for other file formats can easy be added which will happen upon demand.

While loading your *.properties files trans-tool checks if files are in order, ensuring all of them are syntactically correct and all of the translations are in sync with main language. It also comes with huge set of various linters and checkers to guard quality of the files' contents. It can check for missing or dangling keys, inproper punctuation, open brackets, quotation marks and more. It can also automatically sync translation files quickly providing fresh template for your translators to work on.
