AI Translation VS Code Extension

This VS Code extension enhances coding and internationalization (i18n) using the Gemini API. The extension can extract all translatable text from your code and generate i18n JSON files for the specified languages. It also helps with code checking and general coding tasks.

Features

Code Analysis and Checking: Checks your code for string literals that are not translated with the t() function and lists the errors.

Translation Extraction: Extracts translatable text from your code and creates i18n JSON files for the specified languages.

Custom Queries: Allows you to ask custom questions about your code to the Gemini AI (e.g., "fix the bugs", "explain this code").

Prerequisites

To use this extension, you will need a Google Gemini API key.

Create it in Google AI Studio.

Add the key to your VS Code settings:

Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or use the Ctrl+, shortcut).

Search for "Gemini Code Helper Settings".

Paste your key into the gemini-code-helper.apiKey field.

Installation

I18n Tools

Click the "Start Extraction" button to extract text and generate translation files for the languages specified in the settings.
