currency_translate.groovy

Feature Realization

This script converts currency representations in the target text from the source locale format to the target locale format. For example, it can transform $123,399.99 (US format) into 123 399,99 USD (French format).

Key APIs

• java.text.NumberFormat: Used to parse and format currencies based on locales.

• project.projectProperties.sourceLanguage.locale: Retrieves the locale for the project’s source language.

• project.projectProperties.targetLanguage.locale: Retrieves the locale for the project’s target language.

• project.allEntries: Iterates through all project segments.

• editor.gotoEntry(ste.entryNum()): Moves the editor to the segment being modified.

Important Constraints or Limitations

• Disabled by Default: The actual replacement line editor.replaceEditText(target) is commented out in the script for safety. Users must manually uncomment it after verifying the logs.

• USD-Centric Regex: The source currency detection is based on a regex specifically looking for the $ symbol and US-style number formatting. It may not work for other source currencies without modification.

• Performance: Iterates through all segments, which can be slow on large projects.
