Language barriers have always been a major obstacle in the globalized world we live in. With businesses expanding overseas and people from different cultures interacting, the need for effective translation services has never been greater. However, traditional translation methods are often time-consuming, costly, and can still result in errors. That's where AI-Intl comes in

What is all about?

Say goodbye to the complexities of internationalization with our AI-powered CLI application. This cutting-edge technology automates the process of translating and adapting your website for different cultures and languages, saving you time and effort.

Setup

Please note that this project is currently under active development, so while it may not work 100% at this time, we are working diligently to improve it. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

1. Install ai-intl CLI:

   npm install -g ai-intl

2. Retrieve your API key from OpenAI

   If you haven't already, you'll have to create an account and set up billing.

3. Set the key so ai-intl can use it:

   ai-intl config set OPENAI_KEY=<your token>

4. Generate the config file:

   ai-intl generate

   

5. Customize your translations

   Open ai-intl.config.json that the CLI generated for you and customize your translations.

6. Optional if you want to run ai-intl pre-commit set up the hook.

   ai-intl hook install

   If you are using husky add npx ai-intl to the pre-commit hook.

How it works

• CLI that generate for you translations on demand. Run ai-intl translate and it will translate the content for you.
• If enabled, the pre-commit hook 🚀 will check for translation changes in your default locale and adapt all other translations for each pull request.
• When needed you can customize the prompt using .md file at the same level of your default translation
