Local Translation Environment

For developers working on translations locally, we recommend using the i18n-gettext VSCode extension.

Extension Details:

• Documentation: GitHub Repository
• VSCode Marketplace: i18n-gettext Extension

This extension offers AI-powered translation capabilities with high-quality output and support for additional scoring models to validate translations.

Translation Workflow for Developers

After making code changes that affect translatable content, run these commands to update translation templates:

# Generate Go i18n files
go generate

# Extract translatable strings from the frontend
cd app
pnpm gettext:extract

This process ensures all new translatable content is properly added to the translation system.
