2. Access Translation Management Panel: Click the "i18n Gettext" icon in the activity bar to open the translation management panel.

3. View Current File Translations: Open a file containing internationalization strings, and all translations from that file will be displayed in the translation panel.

   

4. Batch Translation: Click the [Check Untranslated Entries] button in the translation progress title bar to open the translation panel.

   

5. Edit Translations: Click the edit icon next to any translation entry to open the translation editor.

   

6. View Translation Progress: Check the translation completion status for each language in the "Translation Progress" view.

7. Search Translation Entries: Use the search functionality at the top of the translation panel to quickly find specific translation entries.

8. Filter Translation Entries: Use the filter buttons at the top of the translation panel to show all/translated/untranslated entries.

      "provider": "",
      "modelId": "",
      "apiKey": ""
    },
    "ai": []
  }
}

localesConfig

• root: Project root directory
• type: Translation file organization method, supports the following types:
  • flat: All translation files are in the same directory level, typically named as ${locale}.${domain}.po
  • nested: Translation files organized by language code hierarchy, like ${locale}/${domain}.po
  • custom: Custom organization, following the pattern defined in the pattern field
• basePath: Translation files directory (relative to project root)
• pattern: Translation file path pattern, using ${locale} and ${domain} placeholders, only effective when type is custom
• defaultDomain: Default domain name
• sourceLanguage: Source language code

translatorConfig

• onlyTranslateUntranslatedAndFuzzy: Whether to only translate untranslated/fuzzy-flagged fields
• batch:
  • pageSize: Number of translation entries to display per batch in batch translation mode

AI Translation Configuration

1. Config in vscode settings for extension(recommended)

2. Create a .i18n-gettext.secret configuration file in the project root or .vscode directory with the following format:

interface ModelConfig {
  provider: string
  modelId: string
  apiKey?: string
  baseURL?: string
  region?: string
}

{
  // Additional Prompts
  "additionalPrompts": [],

  // AI model for translation quality review
  "reviewAI": {
    "provider": "openai",
    "modelId": "gpt-4o",
    "apiKey": "your-api-key"
  },

  // AI models for translation
  "ai": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "modelId": "gpt-4o",
      "apiKey": "your-api-key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "modelId": "claude-3-opus-20240229",
      "apiKey": "your-api-key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "deepseek",
      "modelId": "deepseek-chat",
      "apiKey": "your-api-key"
    }
  ]
}

Supported AI providers include:

• openai
• deepseek
• ollama
• open-router
• qwen
• anthropic
• mistral
• groq
• cohere
• perplexity
• amazon-bedrock
• azure
