LocoMobileExport

An exporter script for Localise.biz projects for iOS and Android projects

How to use it?

1. Put loco_exporter.sh in your project folder.
2. Run script with the desired options

Android example

Script placed in the app module, not the root folder.

# This imports the Swedish strings that are shared or android specific as app default language
shloco_exporter.sh android --key <loco-api-key> --map "values-sv=values" --tag "shared,android" --output "src/se/res"
# This imports the Swedish plural strings that are shared or android specific as app default language
sh loco_exporter.sh android --key <loco-api-key> --map "values-sv=values" --tag "plurals" --plurals true --output "src/se/res"
# This imports the English, Swedish and Norwegian (multilangual project) strings that are shared or android specific as app default language. English as default.
sh loco_exporter.sh android --key <loco-api-key> --map "values-en=values"  --map "values-sv=values-sv" --map "values-no=values-no" --tag "shared, android" --plurals true --output "src/se/res"

iOS example

# This imports the Swedish strings that are shared or ios specific, --output (in this case viktklubbapp) is path to directory containing *.lproj relative to where import script is
sh loco_import.sh ios --key <loco-api-key> --map "sv=sv" --tag "shared,ios" --output "viktklubbapp"
# This imports the Swedish plural strings, --output (in this case viktklubbapp) is path to directory containing *.lproj relative to where import script is
sh loco_import.sh ios --key <loco-api-key> --map "sv=sv" --tag "plurals" --plurals true  --output "viktklubbapp"
# This imports the Swedish and Norwegian strings that are shared or ios specific, --output (in this case viktklubbapp) is path to directory containing *.lproj relative to where import script is
sh loco_import.sh ios --key <loco-api-key> --map "sv=sv" --map "no=nb" --tag "shared,ios" --output "viktklubbapp"

Clipy is a great help for having a quick access to code snippets like this one.
