go-i18n is a Go package and companion CLI for translating Go programs into multiple languages. It supports CLDR plural rules for 200+ languages, template-based message strings, and message files in formats like JSON, TOML, and YAML.

Use cases

• translate a Go web application into multiple languages
• handle pluralized strings correctly across locales
• load translation message files from JSON, TOML, or YAML
• extract translatable messages from Go source code
• localize responses based on Accept-Language headers
• manage translation file workflows with a CLI

When to choose

• you are building a Go application or web server that needs multilingual support
• you need correct CLDR pluralization rules for many languages
• you want a mature, widely used i18n solution for Go
• you need tooling to extract and manage translation message files

When to avoid

• your project is not written in Go
• you only need simple static string substitution without locale awareness
• you need frontend/browser i18n rather than server-side Go localization
