translation-key-extractor

Extract hardcoded strings by scanning your source code to identify translatable text, then convert them into descriptive dot-notated keys grouped by scope (common, page, component). The extractor outputs file and line context alongside proposed keys and generates or updates translation resource files for i18n frameworks.

Yes, the extractor works across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, and other languages. It identifies string literals in each language, excludes non-translatable artifacts, and generates keys compatible with common i18n frameworks.

Automated extraction scans your entire codebase to find all hardcoded strings at once, generates consistent descriptive keys grouped by scope, and provides file and line references. Manual creation is slower and prone to inconsistency; extraction ensures comprehensive coverage and standardized key naming across your project.

Ensure your source code is accessible and organized by language. The extractor scans string literals directly from your source files, so no special preprocessing is required—it works on your existing codebase structure.

The extractor outputs replacement guidance showing where to update your code to use the generated keys instead of hardcoded strings. You then integrate the keys with your i18n framework, update locale files with translations, and replace hardcoded strings in your source code.

Yes, the extractor identifies and excludes non-translatable artifacts like code identifiers and configuration values. It focuses on user-facing strings, generating keys only for text that should appear in translation files.
