Hi.
I've recently release the Transcoder plugin:
https://transcoder.dev.java.net/
I hope you'll find it useful.
Here's a small description.
The Transcoder plugin for Maven2 is used to check multilingual resources for the
completeness of translation. This plugin analyzes property files contained
within the application and reports entries which were not translated into one of
the required languages. Missing entries are written into property files in some
target directory.
In practice, if you develop a multi-lingual project, you may need to be sure
that you've translated all the language entries into all of the required
languages. In case your language resources are distributed among multiple JARs,
this may be hard to do. The Transcoder plugin performs the in-depth check of
your JARs/resources and generates a list of properties yet-to-be-translated.
How is the check performed?
The plugin is configured with a list of languages (locales) and a list of
resource names. It also implicitly knows runtime dependencies of the project. So
the Transcoder plugin checks that:
* for every runtime dependency and every resource name,
* if certain entry exists in resource property file for one of the
configured languages,
* then it exists in resource property files for all of the configured
languages (within the same dependency).
What is the output?
The plugin has the target configuration parameter
${project.build.directory}/missing-resources by default. In case resource file
within some given dependency misses some entries for one of the languages, they
will be written into the
${target}/${groupId}/${artifactId}/${resourceName}_${locale}.properties file.
${target} is the target directory (see above), ${groupId} and ${artifactId} are
the group id and the artifact id of the given dependency, ${resourceName} and
${locale} are current resource name and language.
Example. Consider we're missing the German user.username (locale: de) entry
in the resource de/disy/preludio2/messages of the
de.disy.preludio2:preludio2-shared. In this case we'll get the file
target/missing-resources/de.disy.preludio2/preludio2-shared/de/disy/preludio2/messages_de.properties
containing something like:
user.username=@@TODO.user.username@@
Bye.
