# Babelbox
Babelbox allows you to write your language files in .csv files and then generate Minecraft language.json files from them.
Creating translations in CSV gives you an easy overview over any errors or missing translations.

# Installation
```shell
$ pip install babelbox
```
# Usage
Reads translations from all sources and then generates minecraft language files for all language codes
```shell
$ # Single .csv file source
$ babelbox
$ # Directory containing .csv files as source
$ babelbox
$ # Multiple sources require output directory
$ babelbox -o
```
All options:
```shell
$ babelbox SOURCES...
-o, --out The output directory of the generated files
-p, --prefix-identifiers Prefix identifiers with their path relative
to their SOURCES entry
--dialect [excel|excel-tab|unix]
CSV dialect used to parse CSV. Dialect will
be automatically detected of omitted
-d, --delimiter CSV delimiter overwrite
--quotechar CSV quote char overwrite
-m, --minify Minify generated files
-i, --indent Indentation used when generating files
--dry Dry run. Don not generate any files
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity
-q, --quiet Only output errors
```
# Getting started
## Single file source:
We have one `.csv` file containing translations:
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
└╴ items.csv
```
| Item | en_us | de_de |
| ----------------------------------- | -------- | ---------- |
| item.stick.name | stick | Stock |
| # You can create comments like this | | |
| item.snowball.name | snowball | Schneeball |
Passing **items.csv** as a source to babelbox generates the language files **en_us.json** and **de_de.json**:
```shell
$ babelbox resourcepack/.../lang/items.csv
```
```json
en_us.json
{
"item.stick.name": "stick",
"item.snowball.name": "snowball",
}
de_de.json
{
"item.stick.name": "Stock",
"item.snowball.name": "Schneeball",
}
```
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
├╴ items.csv
├╴ en_us.json
└╴ de_de.json
```
## Directory source
We have two `.csv` files containing translations:
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
├╴ items.csv
└╴ blocks.csv
```
**items.csv**
| Item | en_us | de_de |
| -------------------- | -------- | ---------- |
| item.stick.name | stick | Stock |
**blocks.csv**
| Block | en_us | de_de |
| --------------------- | -------- | --------- |
| block.log.name | log | Holzstamm |
Passing the **lang** directory as a source to babelbox generates the language files **en_us.json** and **de_de.json**:
```shell
$ babelbox resourcepack/.../lang
```
```json
en_us.json
{
"item.stick.name": "stick",
"block.log.name": "log",
}
de_de.json
{
"item.stick.name": "Stock",
"block.log.name": "Holzstamm",
}
```
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
├╴ items.csv
├╴ blocks.csv
├╴ en_us.json
└╴ de_de.json
```
## Shorten variable names:
We can use the `--prefix-identifiers` flag to save ourselve some typing. If all identifiers share a common prefix, we can name the file to that prefix and let Babelbox prepend it.
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
└╴ item.swords.csv
```
| Swords | en_us | de_de |
| -------------- | ------------- | -------------- |
| diamond.name | Diamond Sword | Diamantschwert |
| gold.name | Gold sword | Goldschwert |
```shell
$ babelbox resourcepack/.../lang --prefix-identifiers
$ # Or abbreviated
$ babelbox resourcepack/.../lang -p
```
```json
en_us.json
{
"item.swords.diamond.name": "Diamond Sword",
"item.swords.gold.name": "Gold sword",
}
de_de.json
{
"item.swords.diamond.name": "Diamantschwert",
"item.swords.gold.name": "Goldschwert",
}
```
All identifiers have been prefixed with `item.swords.`
## Organize translations in folders
We can save ourselves even more typing and organize our translations files in a directory structure:
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
├╴ item
│ └╴ swords.csv
└╴ block
└╴ heavy.csv
```
**swords.csv**
| Swords | en_us | de_de |
| -------------- | ------------- | -------------- |
| gold.name | Gold sword | Goldschwert |
**heavy.csv**
| Heavy Blocks | en_us | de_de |
| ------------ | ---------- | ----------- |
| lead.name | Lead Block | Bleiblock |
```shell
$ babelbox resourcepack/.../lang -p
```
```json
en_us.json
{
"item.swords.gold.name": "Gold sword",
"block.heavy.lead.name": "Lead Block",
}
de_de.json
{
"item.swords.gold.name": "Goldschwert",
"block.heavy.lead.name": "Bleiblock",
}
```
```
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
├╴ item
│ └╴ swords.csv
├╴ block
│ └╴ heavy.csv
├╴ en_us.json
└╴ de_de.json
```
# Beet plugin
Babelbox can be used as a [`beet`](https://github.com/mcbeet/beet) plugin.
Here is a example beet project using babelbox:
```
beet.json
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
└╴item.swords.csv
```
**swords.csv**
| Swords | en_us | de_de |
| -------------- | ------------- | -------------- |
| gold.name | Gold sword | Goldschwert |
**beet.json**
```json
{
"output": "build",
"resource_pack": {
"load": ["resourcepack"]
},
"pipeline": [
"babelbox.integration.beet"
],
"meta": {
"babelbox": {
"load": ["resourcepack/assets/minecraft/lang"],
"prefix_identifiers": true
}
}
}
```
Running `beet build` generates the language files:
```
beet.json
resourcepack
⠇
└╴lang
└╴item.swords.csv
build
⠇
└╴lang
├╴en_us.json
└╴de_de.json
```
