JSON

JSON language definition files

Export from 1.0.0 master sheet September 2015

FILE NAME STRUCTURE

Every JSON file has the following file name structure:

Polyglot-$version_$language[_$anotherLanguage].json

• POLYGLOT is the name of the project
• VERSION is the version string (3 digits, no point or comma), e.g. "100"
• LANGUAGE is the ISO-639-1 language code (lower case) and the regional code (upper case), e.g. "enUS"

Version has a "-" (minus) in front, and all languages are separated by "_" (underscores) for easy string explosion.

INTERNAL JSON STRUCTURE

Every JSON language file has the following structure:

{
    "resources": {
        "polyglot": {
            "LANG": $langstring,
            "DIRECTION": $direction,
            "VERSION": $version,
            "DATE": $date
        },
        "data": [
            {
                "n": $idString,
                "s": $translation
            },
            ...
        ]
    }
}

Explanation:

• "resources" root element
• "polyglot" info tag & attributes: $langstring (e.g. "German"), $direction ("ltr"/"rtl"), $version (e.g. "100"), $date (e.g. "2015-09-26")
• "data" block with subsections containing "n": $idString and "s": $translation pairs from the Polyglot database
