We have released an extension for Visual Studio Code on the Visual Studio Marketplace for our software development customers.
It can be used to check for correct terminology in text-based documents that you opened in Visual Studio Code.
Supported file formats
The Lexeri extension for VS Code is designed specifically for documents containing UI texts. The following file formats are currently supported:
- JSON
- YAML
- PO / GNU gettext (.po)
- Java Properties (.properties)
- RESX
- SRT subtitles
- Apple Strings (.strings)
- Twine
- Xliff
- HTML
- and many more.
Installation
You can install the extension on the VS Code Extension Marketplace. To do so, click on the extension icon in the VS Code activity bar and then search for “Lexeri”.
Alternatively, you can find the Lexeri extension by selecting this link in the Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Lexeri.Lexeri
Use
The Visual Studio Code extension is used like any other of our plugins and add-ins. You will find a Lexeri icon in the activity bar once installation is complete. Click on it to access the extension’s home page.
Here you can conduct manual searches of your termbase for individual terms or start a term check for the current document. Always remember: you must first save the current document, as otherwise the extension will be unable to find the file.
Like with our other plug-ins, term check hits are shown in a list that can be expanded to access additional information. You can also skip to the relevant strings by selecting the eye icon.
Beta version
This is the first version of our extension for Visual Studio Code. But we have plenty of additional ideas we would like to include in the extension. Just drop us a line if you have a request or find a bug: info@lexeri.com
We look forward to receiving your feedback!
