What resource file types are supported by LRM?

The Lingoport Resource Manager supports the following file types:

  • .json (with some restrictions for L10n purposes - See below for format of .json as resource bundles - Mostly JavaScript, and other programming languages)
  • .msg (C, C++, ...)
  • .po files
  • .properties files (for instance, Java-type resources)
  • .resx files (used in the .Net world)
  • .rc (Delphi, ...)
  • .rjs (for JavaScript)
  • .rxml (for xml)
  • .strings (Mobile iOS)
  • strings.xml (Android)

See <HOME>/lingoport/lrm-server-x.y/samples for sample Project Definition files.


Lingoport Resource Manager Configuration

LRM creates projects using a Project Definition XML file that contains information about the resources and types for translation. Here is a typical .xml definition for projects with .properties files.

This will create a project called com.company.project in the group SVNFTP. The resource files are located in the /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/SVNFTP.com.company.project/workspace directory. The resources are targeting six different locales. The resource files to be translated are .properties files.

<project-name>com.company.project</project-name>

This is the LRM project name that will be created.

What is resx files encoding?

.Net resx files must be UTF-8 encoded, as per the resx schema, Hence, on-boarding resx resource files with LRM must specify the UTF-8 encoding:

Why don't Bad iOS Comments Trigger Errors?

If an IOS file has a comment that is not ended properly, no error is thrown. For example, if a comment doesn't have an ending */, such as /*Bad comment no errors are found.

This is due to the formatting of iOS. This type of bad comments would typically be created on the base files.

Note key/value pairs are not effected. Noticed when LRM_RESEND tag was added, the info in the Changed Key values included LRM_RESEND.
