Integration for Angular: Automated Translations with doloc

#angular #localization #i18n #xliff

Developing multilingual apps efficiently can be a real challenge - especially when working with various frameworks and tools. This is where doloc comes into play: a lightweight solution for automated translations that integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows. The focus is on great translations and no need for a glossary, as all texts automatically serve implicitly as a glossary.

Today, we’re excited to introduce our latest integration for Angular!

In this article, we’ll show you how to use doloc to automate translations in your Angular project and save valuable time. It takes you only three steps before you can extract and translate your texts automatically!

Angular: Automating Translations with doloc

Set up Angular Localization i18n with the official Angular guide.
Set up ng-extract-i18n-merge to manage translations.
Add doloc to your workflow by adding the following to your package.json script:

{
  "scripts": {
    // other scripts ...
    "auto-translate-fr": "curl https://api.doloc.io -H \"Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN\" --data-binary @src/messages.fr.xlf -o src/messages.fr.xlf",
    "auto-translate-it": "curl https://api.doloc.io -H \"Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN\" --data-binary @src/messages.it.xlf -o src/messages.it.xlf",
    "update-i18n": "ng extract-i18n && npm run auto-translate-fr && npm run auto-translate-it"
  }
}

The $API_TOKEN can be found in your doloc account.

Now run npm run update-i18n to extract new translations and automatically translate them.
