When exporting XLIFF from Xcode, how to exclude dummy strings?
I've written a script that excludes certain translation.
How it works?
cmd-line: python strip_loc.py input.xliff output.xliff exclude_list.txt [-v]
Example usage:python strip_loc.py en.xliff en-stripped.xliff exclude_words.txt -v
The exclude_list.txt is a file with a string per line. The script parses this list and creates a dictionary of banned words. If a translation with source containing one of these strings is encountered, the whole translation unit is removed from the output xml/xliff.
For me I use this XLIFF Online Editor to edit the xliff file. It will be easy to you to ignore the dummy text or anything you need.
