## 🤯 Usage
### Step 1: Initialize Configuration
To initialize the Lobe i18n configuration, run the following command:
```shell
$ lobe-i18n -o # or use the full flag --option
```
### Step 2: Run Translation Commands
This command will guide you through creating a configuration file step by step.
Alternatively, you can manually create a configuration file in one of the formats supported by [cosmiconfig](https://github.com/cosmiconfig/cosmiconfig) (see [Configuration](#configuration) below).
Here's an example of a configuration file (`.i18nrc.js`):\
This example demonstrates how to generate `locales/zh_CN.json` and `locales/ja_JP.json` automatically based on `locales/en_US.json`.
```javascript
const { defineConfig } = require('@lobehub/i18n-cli');
module.exports = defineConfig({
entry: 'locales/en_US.json',
entryLocale: 'en_US',
output: 'locales',
outputLocales: ['zh_CN', 'ja_JP'],
});
```
> \[!IMPORTANT]\
> To use AI auto-generation, you need to fill in the [OpenAI Token](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) in the settings.
```shell
# Translate Locale files
$ lobe-i18n # or $ lobe-i18n locale
# Translate Markdown files
$ lobe-i18n md
# Lint translation files for language correctness
$ lobe-i18n lint # or $ lobe-i18n --lint
# Run i18n translation and markdown translation simultaneously
$ lobe-i18n --with-md
# Specify the configuration file
$ lobe-i18n -c './custom-config.js' # or use the full flag --config
```
<br/>
### Configuration
You can choose any configuration method in [cosmiconfig](https://github.com/cosmiconfig/cosmiconfig) format
- `i18n` property in `package.json`
- `.i18nrc` file in JSON or YAML format
- `.i18nrc.json`, `.i18nrc.yaml`, `.i18nrc.yml`, `.i18nrc.js`, `.i18nrc.cjs`
- `defineConfig` provides a secure definition method that can be imported from `@lobehub/i18n-cli`
> \[!TIP]

### Environment Variable
This project provides some additional configuration items set with environment variables:
| Environment Variable | Required | Description | Example |
| -------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Yes | This is the API key you apply on the OpenAI account page | `sk-xxxxxx...xxxxxx` |
| `OPENAI_PROXY_URL` | No | If you manually configure the OpenAI interface proxy, you can use this configuration item to override the default OpenAI API request base URL | `https://api.chatanywhere.cn/v1`<br/>The default value is<br/>`https://api.openai.com/v1` |

<br/>
#### Example 1 `.i18nrc.js`
```js
const { defineConfig } = require('@lobehub/i18n-cli');
module.exports = defineConfig({
entry: 'locales/en_US.json',
entryLocale: 'en_US',
output: 'locales',
outputLocales: ['zh_CN', 'ja_JP'],
});
```
#### Example 2 `.i18nrc.json`
```json
{
"entry": "locales/en_US.json",
"entryLocale": "en_US",
"output": "locales",
"outputLocales": ["zh_CN", "ja_JP"]
}
```
#### Example 3 `package.json`
```json
{
"...": "...",
"i18n": {
"entry": "locales/en_US.json",
"entryLocale": "en_US",
"output": "locales",
"outputLocales": ["zh_CN", "ja_JP"]
}
}
```
#### Example 4 - Enable Immediate Save
```js
const { defineConfig } = require('@lobehub/i18n-cli');
module.exports = defineConfig({
entry: 'locales/en_US.json',
entryLocale: 'en_US',
output: 'locales',
outputLocales: ['zh_CN', 'ja_JP'],
saveImmediately: true, // Save results immediately after each chunk completes
concurrency: 5,
temperature: 0.3,
});
```
> \[!TIP]
>
> Enabling `saveImmediately` allows you to see translation progress in real-time and provides better fault tolerance. If the translation process is interrupted, completed chunks won't be lost.

[![][back-to-top]](#readme-top)
</div>
### 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
- ja_JP.json
- zh_CN.json
- ...
```
> \[!TIP]
>
> The `flat structure` requires configuring the `entry` property in the configuration file to the corresponding JSON file [Example](./examples/locale/flat/.i18nrc.cjs)
```json
{
"entry": "locales/en.json",
"entryLocale": "en_US",
"output": "locales",
"outputLocales": ["zh_CN", "ja_JP"]
}
```
#### 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
- ...
- ja_JP
- common.json
- header.json
- subfolder
- ...
- zh_CN
- common.json
- header.json
- subfolder
- ...
```
> \[!TIP]
>
> The `tree structure` requires configuring the `entry` property in the configuration file to the corresponding folder [Example](./examples/locale/tree/.i18nrc.cjs)
```json
{
"entry": "locales/en_US",
"entryLocale": "en_US",
"output": "locales",
"outputLocales": ["zh_CN", "ja_JP"]
}
```
### Running
Use the `lobe-i18n` command to generate i18n files automatically:
```shell
$ lobe-i18n
```

[![][back-to-top]](#readme-top)
</div>
## 📝 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 |
| includeMatter | | `boolean` | `false` | Whether to include front matter in the translation |
#### `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 `.zh-CN.md`, but we want the output file extension for the `en-US` translation to be `.md`, while other languages keep the default extensions.
```js
module.exports = {
markdown: {
entry: ['./README.zh-CN.md', './docs/**/*.zh-CN.md'],
entryLocale: 'zh-CN',
entryExtension: '.zh-CN.md',
outputLocales: ['en-US', 'ja-JP'],
outputExtensions: (locale, { getDefaultExtension }) => {
if (locale === 'en-US') return '.md';
return getDefaultExtension(locale);
},
},
};
```
> `outputExtensions` supports the following `props`:
```ts
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.

[![][back-to-top]](#readme-top)
</div>
### 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.zh-CN.md
- docs
- usage.md
- usage.zh-CN.md
- subfolder
- ...
```
> \[!TIP]
>
> [Example](./examples/markdown/.i18nrc.cjs)
### Running
Use the `lobe-i18n md` command to automate the generation of i18n files:
```shell
$ lobe-i18n md
```
