Usage

​

Basic Example

import { normalizeTranslationText } from 'wobble-bibble';

const rawResponse = 'P1 - Hello worldP2 - Goodbye';
const normalized = normalizeTranslationText(rawResponse);

console.log(normalized);
// Output:
// P1 - Hello world
// P2 - Goodbye

​

Handling Line Ending Variations

// Handles \r\n (Windows), \r (old Mac), and \n (Unix)
const windowsText = 'P1 - First\r\nP2 - Second';
const normalized = normalizeTranslationText(windowsText);

console.log(normalized.includes('\n')); // true
console.log(normalized.includes('\r')); // false

​

Splitting Merged Markers

// When markers are accidentally concatenated
const merged = 'helloP1 - translation text';
const normalized = normalizeTranslationText(merged);

console.log(normalized.includes('\nP1 -')); // true

​

What It Does

1. Line Ending Normalization: Converts all line endings (\r\n, \r) to \n
2. Merged Marker Splitting: Inserts newlines before markers that are merged with preceding text
   • helloP1 - text → hello\nP1 - text
   • word P2 - text → word\nP2 - text
3. Escaped Bracket Handling: Removes backslash escaping from \[ → [

​

When to Use

• Processing raw LLM translation responses before parsing
• Preparing text for ID extraction or translation parsing
• Handling text from different platforms with varying line endings
• Ensuring consistent marker formatting across inputs
