Predefined Placeholders

If you have multiple same placeholders, you can utilize the predefined placeholders feature by creating a separate excel sheet that has columns of "key" and its corresponding values in each language.

Note: each key can ONLY contain alphanumeric (a-Z, 0-9) and underscores ("_")

Example:

key	en	id
date1	"DateTime", "format": "yMd"	"DateTime", "format": "dMy"

To use it on the main sheet:

name	description	placeholders	en	id
payAtDate	Text for pay with date	{"date": {"type": $date1}}	Pay when {date}	Bayar pada tanggal {date}

Generating will produce:

en.arb

{
  "payAtDate": "Pay when {date}",
  "@payAtDate": {
    "placeholders": {
      "date": {
        "type": "DateTime",
        "format": "yMd"
      }
    }
  }
}

id.arb

{
  "payAtDate": "Bayar pada tanggal {date}",
  "@payAtDate": {
    "placeholders": {
      "date": {
        "type": "DateTime",
        "format": "dMy"
      }
    }
  }
}
