i18n Excel File into JSON Converter

Convert Excel file (.xlsx format) containing internationalization (i18n) data into JSON format.

Key highlights

Input: .xlsx file with the following format:

• sheet names representing parent keys in camelCase format (e.g., commonButton).

• columns containing child keys, language codes, and values. Example:

  key	zh-TW	en-US
  apply	套用	Apply
  export	道出	Export
  send	送出	Send

Output:

• Individual JSON files named with the date time and language code (e.g., 2024-05-30-11-30-en-US.json).

• zh-TW json file sample output:

  {
    "commonButton": {
      "apply": "套用",
      "export": "道出",
      "send": "送出"
    }
  }

• en-US json file sample output:

  {
    "commonButton": {
      "apply": "Apply",
      "export": "Export",
      "send": "Send"
    }
  }

Functionality:

• Reads each sheet of the .xlsx file.
• Extracts parent key (sheet name) and child keys (first column).
• Iterates through each language code column.
• Constructs a nested JSON dictionary with child keys as keys and corresponding values.

Benefits:

• Improved efficiency and accuracy.
• Reduced manual effort and error-proneness.
• Enhanced data management and localization.
