Let's say your multilingual site supports two languages, English and Polish. Create a translation table for each language in the `i18n` directory.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
i18n/
|
|
├── en.toml
|
|
└── pl.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The translation tables can contain both:
|
|
|
|
- Simple translations
|
|
- Translations with pluralization
|
|
|
|
The Unicode [CLDR Plural Rules chart] describes the pluralization categories for each language.
|
|
|

The English translation table:
|
|
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=i18n/en >}}
|
|
privacy = 'privacy'
|
|
security = 'security'
|
|
|
|
[day]
|
|
one = 'day'
|
|
other = 'days'
|
|
|
|
[day_with_count]
|
|
one = '{{ . }} day'
|
|
other = '{{ . }} days'
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
|
|
|
The Polish translation table:
|
|
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=i18n/pl >}}
|
|
privacy = 'prywatność'
|
|
security = 'bezpieczeństwo'
|
|
|
|
[day]
|
|
one = 'miesiąc'
|
|
few = 'miesiące'
|
|
many = 'miesięcy'
|
|
other = 'miesiąca'
|
|
|
|
[day_with_count]
|
|
one = '{{ . }} miesiąc'
|
|
few = '{{ . }} miesiące'
|
|
many = '{{ . }} miesięcy'
|
|
other = '{{ . }} miesiąca'
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
The examples below use the `T` alias for brevity.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
When viewing the English language site:
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ T "privacy" }} → privacy
|
|
{{ T "security" }} → security
|
|
|
|
{{ T "day" 0 }} → days
|
|
{{ T "day" 1 }} → day
|
|
{{ T "day" 2 }} → days
|
|
{{ T "day" 5 }} → days
|
|
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 0 }} → 0 days
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 1 }} → 1 day
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 2 }} → 2 days
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 5 }} → 5 days
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
When viewing the Polish language site:
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ T "privacy" }} → prywatność
|
|
{{ T "security" }} → bezpieczeństwo
|
|
|
|
{{ T "day" 0 }} → miesięcy
|
|
{{ T "day" 1 }} → miesiąc
|
|
{{ T "day" 2 }} → miesiące
|
|
{{ T "day" 5 }} → miesięcy
|
|
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 0 }} → 0 miesięcy
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 1 }} → 1 miesiąc
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 2 }} → 2 miesiące
|
|
{{ T "day_with_count" 5 }} → 5 miesięcy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the pluralization examples above, we passed an integer in context (the second argument). You can also pass a map in context, providing a `count` key to control pluralization.
|
|
|
|
Translation table:
|
|
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=i18n/en >}}
|
|
[age]
|
|
one = '{{ .name }} is {{ .count }} year old.'
|
|
other = '{{ .name }} is {{ .count }} years old.'
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
|
|
|
Template code:
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ T "age" (dict "name" "Will" "count" 1) }} → Will is 1 year old.
|
|
{{ T "age" (dict "name" "John" "count" 3) }} → John is 3 years old.
|
|
```
