How do you handle l10n ? about go-i18n

[deankarn]

Hello @nicksnyder @abourget and @ghost

I recently completed a package locales that may be of use. I created it for use in my own i18n package, but split the code into it's own repo in order for any other i18n or l10n package to use if they wanted.

My goal is to create a central package for locale information and formatting and have people wrap it as they wish.

All information is generated using the CLDR rules and information.

It features:

• Rules generated from the latest CLDR data, v29
• Cardinal, Ordinal and Range Plural Rules
• Month, Weekday and Timezone translations built in
• Date & Time formatting functions
• Number, Currency, Accounting and Percent formatting functions

I hope this can help 😄

This library does not currently handle date and number formatting. If we added support, I ideally would want to generate the code from the CLDR data much like we do for plural configuration.

[abourget]

CLDR data has all of that ? I don't know much about CLDR but I might be
willing to take a bite at it. Do you have references ?

Number formatting:

Date formatting
http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/date-time-patterns
http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/date-time-patterns

Download the raw XML data files here:
http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/28/core.zip

Look at core/common/main/en.xml (search for dateFormatItem and decimalFormats)

any movement on this ?

[nicksnyder]

Not that I am aware of. If this is something that is of interest to you then feel free to work on it.

[abourget]

Yeah I'd be glad if you do :-)

@nicksnyder

Have you seen this ? Its handles l10n according to the readme.

https://github.com/maximilien/i18n4go

• is a full workflow, which i was looking for.
• is up to the language translation team to do it.

Its using this repo as a dependency.

Seems to me like a great approach, and well done

@abourget
i am also starting work on this with another guy.

also there is some great best pracs here:
https://github.com/astaxie/build-web-application-with-golang/blob/master/en/10.1.md
about 6 pages, that i think we will fully integrate so everyone has options.

weird. golang has first class support for using the cldr xml data
https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/text/unicode/cldr

funny that the golang team did not use this to create first class tooling for us already.

mhhh.... anyone knwo why ?

[abourget]

Wow thats great! Thanks for sharing here.

Wondering what i should use now ?

this repo OR https://github.com/go-playground/universal-translator ?

[SCKelemen]

Is there any updates on this, or if no one is working on it, are there at least smaller bits of it that I could pick up and implement?

[deankarn]

I don't know if anyone is working on this @SCKelemen

But in theory all that would have to be done to get l10n working in this project would be to map the locales from this library to the locales in https://github.com/go-playground/locales, which contains l10n functions.

[nicksnyder]

The focus of this library is translating messages.

For other types of localization check out http://golang.org/x/text or other 3rd party libraries mentioned in this thread.
