Locales

This directory contains source translations to different languages.

messages.gotext.json contains the actual translations which will be generated by gotext.

Install gotext:

go get -u golang.org/x/text/cmd/gotext

Update locales with:

make updatelocales

Add new locale

For example add Finnish:

cp -r en-US fi-FI

Change both messages.gotext.json and out.gotext.json language JSON key to locale name:

{
  "language": "fi-FI",
  "messages": ["............"]
}

• Translate messages.gotext.json
• Add language code to cmd/kallu/main.go //go:generate line
• Run update locales (see Makefile).

Make a pull request for your new translation when your translation is finished.
