#Static page generator with internationalization

This is a static page generator I once created for freelance work. It generates pages in multiple languages based on a Google spreadsheet file. The generator works by downloading the contents of the spreadsheet file that contains a key column and multiple translation columns.

##Using the template

###2. Set up Google Spreadsheet file

A detailed guide can be found on my blog.

###3. Add your data to the Gruntfile.js config file

config: {
	project_name       	: '',
	src                	: 'src',
	dist               	: 'dist',
	locales            	: 'locales',
	google_document_key	: '1gA-5lpURCmllQAuTkc5vDvAv6Y4eXJDyr8XS-QJntes',

	AWSAccessKeyId     	: '',

},

###4. Development

Development is done in handlebars templates. They are assembled using Assemble.io.

Development with automatic page reload:

grunt serve

###5. Build for production

grunt Build

The generator features automatic uploads to Amazon s3 on build. To disable these, comment out the aws_s3 in the build task at the bottom of the Gruntfile.js:

grunt.registerTask('build', [
	'clean',
	'bower_concat',
	'copy:files',
	'copy:fonts',
	'imagemin',
	'sass',
	'concat:css',
	'cssmin',
	'concat:js',
	'assemble',
	'htmlmin',
	'uglify',
	'getlanguages',
	'i18n',
	'clean:tmp',
	// 'aws_s3'
]);
