macOS A Graphical Localization Tool, any suggestion?

[disorderdev]

I just created a graphical localization tool, I would like to hear feedback from you. it's not available yet, but you can watch the video: Localization Helper Video

I'm not sure whether it's OK to post it here, but the tool is for developers only, and I really would like to get some suggestions from developers.

Hi Disorderdev,

Generally good work so far. Here's a list of my first thoughts:

• Generally use sheets and not modal dialogs.
• Automatically run the project information sheet after creating a project.
• After creating a project and setting the workspace path, automatically scan the project.
• When importing .strings files, auto-detected the language from the name of .lproj directory.
• Allow errors/issues when scanning to be saved and/or printed for later review/correction.
• The language popup is cumbersomely large. Make it hierarchical so that language variants are in submenus.
• Perhaps have the language popup only show languages that have been added to the project, we an other option which brings up a window with a searchable list of all the languages.
• If you allow editing of the translation in the Translation/Language, allow editing of the language as well.
• Add the ability to filter to keys which don't have a translation of a particular language.

But these are just my criticisms. Someone else (include yourself) might partially or wholly disagree.

.strings only?

Are you considering adding support for .nib/.xib text extraction? It looks like it's only supporting .strings now?
Best,
