Gengo YAML

Gengo YAML will convert your i18n YAML files, for Rails or whatever, into Gengo friendly submissions and back again.

Usage

1. Go to leighmcculloch.github.io/gengo-yaml
2. Paste your i18n YAML into the left box
3. Gengo friendly text will appear in the right box
4. Click the Translate with Gengo button and you'll be redirected to Gengo with the text included in a translation order ready for you to configure the languages you want it translated to

Why

I created greatstories.org and have recently started translating it into as many languages as possible. Converting the YAML into Gengo text was quickly tedious. I looked around and found i18n management tools, but I didn't need everything they provided and I'd incur a monthly ongoing cost. I needed a simple tool to make my manual task a relatively automated one. I need a tool that converted the YAML into a format friendly for Gengo, made it easy to get it into Gengo, and back again.

Limitations

• The conversion is only one way, two way is coming
• The conversion isn't perfect, improvements to come
