Tinyglot.pl updates .strings files in Cocoa apps' localization through a script.
This software is extremely useful for maintaining strong localization practices within Cocoa applications. At its core, the software is designed to compare two files, namely the new unlocalized version and the old localized version, and merge their strings into a new file. The end result streamlines the localization process and provides a more efficient workflow.
One feature which really sets this software apart is its ability to read and generate both plain .strings files (UTF-16 encoding) and XML plist files (UTF-8 encoding). As a result, it caters to a wider audience and ensures optimal accessibility.
When calling the script, three arguments are required, including the latest localized file (old_file), the newest unlocalized file (new_file), and the location where the two files will be merged (output_file). The keys are taken from the new_file while the values are taken from the old_file. This enables a smooth and hassle-free merging process.
To install the software, simply rename the file to tinyglot.pl and then run "chmod 755 tinyglot.pl." It's that simple! Overall, this is an excellent software solution for anyone looking to streamline localization practices and enhance their workflow.
