A command-line tool for adding and updating internationalization (i18n) translations in YAML files efficiently. Supports nested keys, multiple locales, and custom file paths.

Install the gem by executing:

$ gem install i18n_add

Or add it to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'i18n_add'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Add or update translations using the command line:

# Add a single translation
i18n_add en.welcome.message="Welcome to our app"

# Add multiple translations
i18n_add -t en.welcome.message="Welcome" -t es.welcome.message="Bienvenido"

# Use custom file path template
i18n_add -f "locales/%{locale}.yml" en.greeting="Hello"

• -t, --translation TRANSLATION: Translation entry (can be used multiple times). Format: locale.dot.separated.key=value
• -f, --file FILE: Custom file path template. Use %{locale} as placeholder. Default: config/locales/%{locale}/main.%{locale}.yml
• -h, --help: Show help message

# Basic usage
i18n_add en.users.welcome="Welcome user"

# Multiple translations
i18n_add -t en.buttons.save="Save" -t en.buttons.cancel="Cancel" -t es.buttons.save="Guardar"

# Custom file structure
i18n_add -f "app/locales/%{locale}.yml" en.nav.home="Home"

# Nested keys
i18n_add en.forms.user.name="Full Name" en.forms.user.email="Email Address"
