(!) PROCEED WITH CAUTION. This project was speed-coded in a day to meet a certain requirement for work. Things may not work as intended, and you might suffer data loss. You have been warned.

Arby

Lightweight, bulk editor for localization files. Essentially a git client interfacing Gitlab. Edit ARB translation files and commit changes directly in the browser.

Features

• Fetch & edit translations — Load multiple ARB files from any GitLab branch into an inline data grid
• Multi-locale side-by-side editing — All locales are shown as columns, making it easy to spot missing or inconsistent translations
• Add / delete keys — Insert new rows inline or remove existing ones without touching a text editor
• Key validation — Enforces ARB key naming rules (no uppercase first letter, alphanumerals + @ + _ only)
• Smart key ordering — On save, @@ metadata keys are hoisted to the top, and @ descriptor keys are kept adjacent to their parent key
• Commit & push — Write changes back to GitLab with a custom commit message, all from the same UI
• And more to come.
