📦 Installation

To install Arietta i18n, run the following command:

npm install -g @arietta-studio/arietta-i18n

🤯 Usage

To initialize the Arietta i18n configuration, run the following command:

$ arietta-i18n -o # or use the full flag --option

[!IMPORTANT]
To use AI auto-generation, you need to fill in the OpenAI Token in the settings.

# Translate Locale files
$ arietta-i18n # or $ arietta-i18n locale

$ arietta-i18n md

# Run i18n translation and markdown translation simultaneously
$ arietta-i18n --with-md

# Specify the configuration file
$ arietta-i18n -c './custom-config.js' # or use the full flag --config

Configuration

You can choose any configuration method in cosmiconfig format

i18n property in package.json
.i18nrc file in JSON or YAML format

Environment Variable

This project provides some additional configuration items set with environment variables:

output	`*`	`string`	-	Location to store localized files
outputLocales	`*`	`string[]`	`[]`	All the languages to be translated
reference		`string`	-	Provide some context for more accurate translations
splitToken		`number`	-	Split the localized JSON file by tokens, automatically calculated by default
temperature		`number`	`0`	Sampling temperature to use
concurrency		`number`	`5`	Number of concurrently pending promises returned
experimental		`experimental`	`{}`	Experimental features, see below
markdown		`markdown`	`{}`	See `markdown` configuration below

`experimental`

Property Name	Required	Type	Default Value	Description
jsonMode		`boolean`	`false`	Enable gpt force JSON output for stability (only supported by new models after November 2023)

Example 1 `.i18nrc.js`

const { defineConfig } = require('@arietta-studio/arietta-i18n');

module.exports = defineConfig({
  entry: 'locales/en_US.json',
  entryLocale: 'en_US',
  output: 'locales',
  outputLocales: ['lt_LT'],
});

Example 2 `.i18nrc.json`

{
  "entry": "locales/en_US.json",
  "entryLocale": "en_US",
  "output": "locales",
  "outputLocales": ["lt_LT"]
}

Example 3 `package.json`

{
  "...": "...",
  "i18n": {
    "entry": "locales/en_US.json",
    "entryLocale": "en_US",
    "output": "locales",
    "outputLocales": ["lt_LT"]
  }
}

File Structure Selection

There are two types of file structures supported: flat and tree.

Flat Structure

A flat structure means that all translations for different languages are stored in a single file, as shown below:

- locales
  - en_US.json
  - lt_LT.json
  - ...

[!TIP]

The flat structure requires configuring the entry property in the configuration file to the corresponding JSON file Example

{
  "entry": "locales/en.json",
  "entryLocale": "en_US",
  "output": "locales",
  "outputLocales": ["lt_LT"]
}

Tree Structure

A tree structure means that the translations for each language are stored in separate language folders, as shown below:

- locales
  - en_US
    - common.json
    - header.json
    - subfolder
      - ...
  - lt_LT
    - common.json
    - header.json
    - subfolder
      - ...

[!TIP]

The tree structure requires configuring the entry property in the configuration file to the corresponding folder Example

{
  "entry": "locales/en_US",
  "entryLocale": "en_US",
  "output": "locales",
  "outputLocales": ["lt_LT"]
}

Running

Use the arietta-i18n command to generate i18n files automatically:

$ arietta-i18n

📝 Markdown Configuration

Property Name	Required	Type	Default	Description
entry	`*`	`string[]`	`[]`	Entry file or folder, supports `glob`
entryLocale		`string`	Inherit parent locale	Reference language for translation
entryExtension		`string`	`.md`	Entry file extension
exclude		`string[]`	`[]`	Files to be filtered, supports `glob`
outputLocales		`string[]`	Inherit parent locale	All languages to be translated
outputExtensions		`function`	`(locale) => '.{locale}.md'`	Output file extension generation
mode		`string`,`mdast`,`function`	`string`	Translation mode selection, explained below
translateCode		`boolean`	`false`	Whether to translate code blocks under `mdast`, other modes are invalid

`outputExtensions`

By default, the translated file names are generated as .{locale}.md. You can customize the output file extensions with outputExtensions.

[!NOTE]

In the example below, the entry file extension is .md, but we want the output file extension for the lt-LT translation to be .md, while other languages keep the default extensions.

module.exports = {
  markdown: {
    entry: ['./README.md', './docs/**/*.md'],
    entryLocale: 'en-US',
    entryExtension: '.md',
    outputLocales: ['lt-LT'],
    outputExtensions: (locale, { getDefaultExtension }) => {
      if (locale === 'en-US') return '.md';
      return getDefaultExtension(locale);
    },
  },
};

outputExtensions supports the following props:

interface OutputExtensionsProps {
  /**
   * @description The locale of the translated file to output
   */
  locale: string;
  config: {
    /**
     * @description The content of the translated file to input
     */
    fileContent: string;
    /**
     * @description The path of the translated file to input
     */
    filePath: string;
    /**
     * @description The default method for generating extensions
     */
    getDefaultExtension: (locale: string) => string;
  };
}

`mode`

mode is used to specify the translation mode, which supports two modes and custom generation modes.

string - Translates the complete markdown content.
mdast - Parses the text with mdast structure and translates the text value content. To translate code blocks, you need to enable translateCode.

[!WARNING]

In mdast mode, the content to be translated will be reduced to a minimum, removing most markdown syntax structures and links. This mode can greatly reduce token consumption, but it may result in inaccurate translation results.

File Structure

The translated files will be generated in the same directory as the entry file, with the corresponding language suffix added to the extension:

- README.md
- README.lt-LT.md
	- docs
		- usage.md
		- usage.lt-LT.md
		- subfolder
            - ...

[!TIP]

Example

Running

Use the arietta-i18n md command to automate the generation of i18n files:

$ arietta-i18n md
