+ <brief_description>
+ Plugin for adding custom parsers to extract strings that are to be translated from custom files (.csv, .json etc.).
+ </brief_description>
+ <description>
+ Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_translation_parser_plugin] method. To define the parsing and string extraction logic, override the [method parse_file] method in script.
+ The extracted strings will be written into a POT file selected by user under "POT Generation" in "Localization" tab in "Project Settings" menu.
+ Below shows an example of a custom parser that extracts strings in a CSV file to write into a POT.
+ [codeblock]
+ tool
+ extends EditorTranslationParserPlugin
+
+
+ func parse_file(path, extracted_strings):
+ var file = File.new()
+ file.open(path, File.READ)
+ var text = file.get_as_text()
+ var split_strs = text.split(",", false, 0)
+ for s in split_strs:
+ extracted_strings.append(s)
+ #print("Extracted string: " + s)
+
+
+ func get_recognized_extensions():
+ return ["csv"]
+ [/codeblock]
+ [b]Note:[/b] If you override parsing logic for standard script types (GDScript, C#, etc.), it would be better to load the [code]path[/code] argument using [method ResourceLoader.load]. This is because built-in scripts are loaded as [Resource] type, not [File] type.
+ For example:
+ [codeblock]
+ func parse_file(path, extracted_strings):
+ var res = ResourceLoader.load(path, "Script")
+ var text = res.get_source_code()
+ # Parsing logic.
+
+
+ func get_recognized_extensions():
+ return ["gd"]
+ [/codeblock]
