Plugin for adding custom parsers to extract strings that are to be translated from custom files (.csv, .json etc.).
Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_translation_parser_plugin] method. To define the parsing and string extraction logic, override the [method parse_text] 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_text(text, extracted_strings):
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]
Gets the list of file extensions to associate with this parser, e.g. [code]["csv"][/code].
Override this method to define a custom parsing logic to extract the translatable strings.
