Smartling exposes a simple REST API that’s fairly easy to adopt.
Some differences from the old approach:
- We get UTF-8 back instead of UTF-16, so there’s no need to use iconv.
- We don’t support “nb_NO”, so we don’t need to remove it each time we
fetch translations.
- We get back English fallbacks for .stringsdict files, so there’s no
need to merge them manually ourselves.
- We no longer support country-specific locales *and* the root language,
so we don’t need to merge, for example, “es” into “es-MX”.
- We handle language mapping & duplication inside the Swift script,
which will hopefully be more reliable than cp’ing directories.
