I created a small web tool for the AGS community that takes translations from an Excel spreadsheet (in XLSX format) and injects them into an existing Adventure Game Studio TRS file.
It runs directly in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server, and all processing happens locally. Here is the link:
https://tools.rubenlopez.eu/en/xlsx2trs/
By default, it does not overwrite existing translations. If you want to do that (for example, for a proofreading pass), there is a checkbox you can tick. In any case, remember to make backups and only overwrite your previous TRS file once you have reviewed the results.
Although I am not a very active AGS user myself, I occasionally help friends who are, and that is how I ended up making this tool as well. I reused some code from my own engine, which has a web-based editor. That is why this tool runs in the browser.
The tool is not open source, because at the moment it reuses a lot of infrastructure from my website which I don't want to open source, but if I find the time to disentangle it, I'll open-source the converter and maybe host it directly on github.
As a side note, maybe it would be a good idea to have something like this directly in the AGS editor. The TRS file format is not very convenient for i18n teams to work with.
