Creating a config file for I18Nature project

When creating a config file, you may provide or generate a api_key of your project from I18Nature. With CLI, you can initialize .i18naturerc.json config file. This file contains your list of your translation files. The translation file has many properties like (id, name, filename, extension, locales, default_locale, wrapper_key, directory).

🔴 IMPORTANT: You can use %language and %locale placeholder keys in filename, wrapper_key, directory properties.

Supported locales: ['sq-AL', 'ar-DZ', 'ar-BH', 'ar-EG', 'ar-IQ', 'ar-JO', 'ar-KW', 'ar-LB', 'ar-LY', 'ar-MA', 'ar-OM', 'ar-QA', 'ar-SA', 'ar-SD', 'ar-SY', 'ar-TN', 'ar-AE', 'ar-YE', 'be-BY', 'bn-IN', 'bn-BD', 'bg-BG', 'ca-ES', 'zh-CN', 'zh-HK', 'zh-SG', 'zh-TW', 'hr-HR', 'cs-CZ', 'da-DK', 'nl-BE', 'nl-NL', 'en-AU', 'en-CA', 'en-IN', 'en-IE', 'en-MT', 'en-NZ', 'en-PH', 'en-SG', 'en-ZA', 'en-GB', 'en-US', 'et-EE', 'fi-FI', 'fr-BE', 'fr-CA', 'fr-FR', 'fr-LU', 'fr-CH', 'de-AT', 'de-DE', 'de-LU', 'de-CH', 'el-CY', 'el-GR', 'iw-IL', 'hi-IN', 'hu-HU', 'is-IS', 'in-ID', 'ga-IE', 'it-IT', 'it-CH', 'ja-JP', 'ko-KR', 'lv-LV', 'lt-LT', 'mk-MK', 'ms-MY', 'mt-MT', 'no-NO', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ro-RO', 'ru-RU', 'sr-BA', 'sr-ME', 'sr-CS', 'sr-RS', 'sk-SK', 'sl-SI', 'es-AR', 'es-BO', 'es-CL', 'es-CO', 'es-CR', 'es-DO', 'es-EC', 'es-SV', 'es-GT', 'es-HN', 'es-MX', 'es-NI', 'es-PA', 'es-PY', 'es-PE', 'es-PR', 'es-ES', 'es-US', 'es-UY', 'es-VE', 'sv-SE', 'th-TH', 'tr-TR', 'uk-UA', 'vi-VN']

Locale directory hierarchy

⚠️ WARNING: You can use language (en) and locale (en-GB) placeholder keys in directory, filename as well.

Example project structure in this repository:

    exammple/
      i18n/
        en/
          common.json
        hu/
          common.json
      locales/
        base_en-GB.yml
        base_hu-HU.yml
      ...
    .i18naturerc.json
    ...

Example .i18naturerc.json for example directories

{
    "version": 1,
    "project_api_key": "API_KEY",
    "translation_files": [
        {
            "name": "Base",
            "filename": "base_%locale",
            "extension": "yml",
            "wrapper_key": "%language",
            "locales": ["en-GB", "hu-HU"],
            "default_locale": "en-GB",
            "directory": "example/locales"
        },
        {
            "name": "Common",
            "filename": "common",
            "extension": "json",
            "locales": ["en-GB", "hu-HU"],
            "default_locale": "en-GB",
            "directory": "example/i18n/%language/"
        }
    ]
}

Create config file will copy the content to your project directory, and modify the .i18naturerc.json in the root folder.
