Welcome to go-i18n
This is the code repository for go-i18n, a go-text wrapper joining gettext support for Linux and Windows.
This package allows to transparently embeds local translation or lookup in system path for installed translations on both platforms. It also includes a composite Github action to update translation on any folder. It will initialize and loads translation, ready to be used by gotext.
For usage in your own project, please refer to the reference documentation.
Reusable github action
A reusable action will extract any translatable strings using gotext functions in your code. Those will generate an up to date <domain>.pot file in the destination directory. Any <locale>.po file inside this directory will then be refreshed with the new available translations.
Usage example:
To bootstrap a new locale, you can cp <domain>.pot <locale>.po and commit it.
Troubleshooting
The project is using the slog package from Go 1.21. You can increase the verbosity of your embedding code to have more logs printed.
