Universal Translator is an i18n Translator for Go/Golang using CLDR data + pluralization rules
|
|
|
|
Why another i18n library?
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Because none of the plural rules seem to be correct out there, including the previous implementation of this package,
|
|
so I took it upon myself to create [locales](https://github.com/go-playground/locales) for everyone to use; this package
|
|
is a thin wrapper around [locales](https://github.com/go-playground/locales) in order to store and translate text for
|
|
use in your applications.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
- [x] Rules generated from the [CLDR](http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads) data, v30.0.3
|
|
- [x] Contains Cardinal, Ordinal and Range Plural Rules
|
|
- [x] Contains Month, Weekday and Timezone translations built in
|
|
- [x] Contains Date & Time formatting functions
|
|
- [x] Contains Number, Currency, Accounting and Percent formatting functions
|
|
- [x] Supports the "Gregorian" calendar only ( my time isn't unlimited, had to draw the line somewhere )
|
|
- [x] Support loading translations from files
|
|
- [x] Exporting translations to file(s), mainly for getting them professionally translated
|
|
- [ ] Code Generation for translation files -> Go code.. i.e. after it has been professionally translated
|
|
- [ ] Tests for all languages, I need help with this, please see [here](https://github.com/go-playground/locales/issues/1)

File formatting

--------------

All types, Plain substitution, Cardinal, Ordinal and Range translations can all be contained withing the same file(s);
|
|
they are only separated for easy viewing.

NOTE: not all fields are needed for all translation types, see [examples](https://github.com/go-playground/universal-translator/tree/master/examples/file-formats)
