Android Strings Export

No Idea why this hasnt been done before

A Python script to automate importing and exporting strings.xml files to excel. This will help you handover the strings for translation to non technical users

Steps to use:

• Have python installed
• Copy the files to the root of your project
• if you need to avoid accidentally commiting the exported XLSX to Git, add this to .gitignore: /*.xlsx
• install dependencies: pip3 install -r .\py_requirements.txt
• run the script: python string_export.py
• Enjoy

Export all strings to XLSX:

python string_export.py

Find and export all string locales into a single excel file. You can edit this file to then add/review translations

Hard import:

python string_import.py

Parses the XLSX file and replaces all strings.xml files except the default .Modify the if condition in the code if you need to replace that too.

Note: Hard import completely replaces the files and will lose all formatting/comments

Soft import:

python string_import_soft.py

Parses the XLSX file and replaces individial values in all strings.xml files except the default .Modify the if condition in the code if you need to replace that too.

Note: This script attempts to replace only the modified translations without disturbing the original files formatting/sorting. New strings will be appended at the end, but removed strings will not be deleted (Scope for future improvement)
