Migrate from Angular's i18n

The Translation File

The migration script will extract all translations from your HTML files and generate a translations JSON file. The script will use the translation string as the key, converting it to kebab case (e.g., "My sample string" → "my-sample-string"). Here's an example of the output JSON:

en.json

{
  "my-sample-string": "My sample string",
  "my-title": "My title"
}

Example HTML section and matching JSON output

before.html

<h1 i18n>translation value</h1>
<h1 i18n="site header|value 1 sample">Val1</h1>
<h1 i18n="site header|value 2 sample">Val2</h1>
<h1 i18n="other context|another comment@@myId">Val3</h1>

after.json

{
  "translation-value": "translation value",
  "site header": {
    "val1": "Val1",
    "val1.comment": "value 1 sample",
    "val2": "Val2",
    "val2.comment": "value 2 sample"
  },
  "other context": {
    "myId": "Val3",
    "myId.comment": "another comment"
  }
}

The .comment suffix is used to support comments in Transloco.Note:

Directives

The i18n and i18n-<attribute> directives will be replaced with the transloco pipe.

before.html

<h1 i18n>Hello World</h1>
<h1 i18n="other context|another comment@@myId">Some value</h1>
<img src="..." i18n i18n-title="Wow image" />

after.html

<h1>{{ 'hello-world' | transloco }}</h1>
<h1>{{ 'some-value' | transloco }}</h1>
<img src="..." title="{{ 'wow-image' | transloco }}" />
