This translates a piece of content based on your `i18n/en-US.toml` files. You can use the [go-i18n](https://github.com/nicksnyder/go-i18n) tools to manage your translations. The translations can exist in both the theme and at the root of your repository.
```go-html-template
{{ i18n "translation_id" }}
```
{{% note %}}
`T` is an alias to `i18n`. E.g. `{{ T "translation_id" }}`.
{{% /note %}}
### Query a flexible translation with variables
Often you will want to use the page variables in the translation strings. To do so, pass the `.` context when calling `i18n`:
```go-html-template
{{ i18n "wordCount" . }}
```
The function will pass the `.` context to the `"wordCount"` id:
{{< code-toggle file="i18n/en-US" >}}
[wordCount]
other = "This article has {{ .WordCount }} words."
{{< /code-toggle >}}
Assume `.WordCount` in the context has value is 101. The result will be:
```
This article has 101 words.
```
