locale

i18n library for PurgeBot. Embeds JSON translation files and exposes typed message keys that services use to look up translated strings.

Usage

import "github.com/PurgeBot-net/locale"

// Look up a message in a given language, falling back to en-GB.
locale.MsgPurgeAlreadyRunning.In(lang)

// With fmt.Sprintf args:
locale.MsgPurgeStatusFetching.In(lang, channelName)

lang is a BCP 47 tag (e.g. "en-GB", "de") — typically taken from the Discord interaction's guild or user locale.

Adding translations

1. Add or update keys in translations/en-GB.json (the source file).
2. Crowdin picks up the changes automatically via crowdin.yml and creates translation PRs for other locales.
3. Add a typed Message var in messages.go if introducing a new key.
