You can filter the worksheets to include with the second parameter of 'fromGoogleSpreadsheet' Ex:

Localize.fromGoogleSpreadsheet("<Key>", '*');
Localize.fromGoogleSpreadsheet("<Key>", ['HomeScreen, 'ContactScreen']);
Localize.fromGoogleSpreadsheet("<Key>", [0, 2]);

Notes

  • The script will preserve everything that is above the tags: < !-- AUTO-GENERATED --> or // AUTO-GENERATED
  • Your spreadsheet should be "Published" for this to work
  • You need to have git installed for the installation
