Download

Download your translation files by executing the translized download command.

You can add additional download options and set up workflow per your needs.

Transform placeholders

Transform placeholders on download to native ones for iOS and android.

e.g. Android string with placeholders I live in %1$s with %2$s for %3$.2f years. will be exported as I live in %@ with %@ for %.2f years. on iOS

This allows you to share the project between iOS and android and don't worry about platform-specific placeholders.

Replace empty translations

It is a common situation that translations are not ready while developing some feature, so when you change a language you can get screens with empty titles, labels, and texts...

Choose one of two download options and avoid empty screens on non-primary languages:

1. Replace empty with primary language translations

2. Replace empty with pseudolocalized strings

   This option is particularly useful if you want to test how UI looks when strings are longer than the primary language

   If selected translized init command will ask for an increase percentage where you can input how much longer strings you want in percentage.

e.g. if you set 50 for increase_percentage: Welcome to Translized! will be exported like Welcome to Translized!Welcome to in files for languages that are not yet translated.

info

Only empty translations will be replaced!
