i18n for Go

Przeczytaj po polsku

Manage go-i18n translations without leaving VS Code: scan sources, merge and check catalogs from the sidebar, and edit .po entries in a form instead of by hand.

Features

  • Translations view — an activity bar view lists every language in the module's po/ directory with its translated, fuzzy and missing counts, and the entries in each group.
  • Entry editor — click an entry to see its msgid, context, translator comment, source references (click to jump to the code) and format flags, and to edit the translation, one field per plural form, or mark it fuzzy.
  • Scan, merge, check — run i18n scan, i18n merge and i18n check from the view's toolbar or the Command Palette. Output goes to the i18n output channel.
  • Add language — create a new po/<lang>.po and fill it from the template.

Requirements

The extension drives the i18n command-line tool from go-i18n, v0.4.0 or later. Platform-specific builds of the extension bundle it, so no setup is needed. On other platforms, install it with:

go install gitlab.com/zygoon/go-i18n/cmd/i18n@latest

To use a different binary, set i18n.binaryPath. Resolution order: that setting, the bundled binary, then i18n on your PATH.

The extension activates in workspaces that contain a po/*.pot template.

Project layout

Like the CLI, the extension uses internal/l10n or l10n under the workspace root, whichever exists, as the directory holding po/, and the workspace root itself if neither does. Set i18n.root to use another directory; it is passed to i18n as -C.

Commands
