Convert localizable.strings to spreadsheet?

Question

Is there a standard way to convert the localizable.strings file to csv format, or something else than can be imported by a spreadsheet program such as OpenOffice? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can just import in your spreadsheet program and use the "=" character as delimiter between the two columns. Just make sure that your spreadsheet program preserves UTF-8 or UTF-16 characters when importing and exporting.

Answer 2

A bit outdated answer, but this online tool, does the job better and faster:

Answer 3

I just spent the last few hours installing and playing with Babelish, a ruby script to do this. I'm still looking around a bit, because I really wish it preserved the comments in my .strings file, but I thought I'd comment here anyway.
