pycord-i18n

Internationalization for Pycord

Key Features

• Translated responses
• Command name, description & option localization
• Based on user & server locale (no need for storage!)

Installation

To install this extension, run the corresponding command:

# linux / macOS
python3 -m pip install pycord-i18n

# windows
python -m pip install pycord-i18n

Usage

1. Setup your internationalization files just like sample-german.json. Note that all fields are optional and you can use whichever file format you want as long as you pass the translations into I18n in the given format.

2. Load your files:

import json

with open("sample-german.json", "r") as f:
    german = json.load(f)
...

3. Create an I18n object:

from pycord.i18n import I18n, _

i18n = I18n(bot, de=german)
# de is the locale code for German
# response translations will be based on the guild's locale, you can make the bot consider the user's locale too by using the following:
i18n = I18n(bot, consider_user_locale=True, de=german)

# all valid locales: da, de, en_GB, en_US, es_ES, fr, hr, it, lt, hu, nl, no, pl, pt_BR, ro, fi, sv_SE, vi, tr, cs, el, bg, ru, uk, hi, th, zh_CN, ja, zh_TW, ko

4. Internationalize your commands:

@i18n.localize  # command name and description localization
@bot.slash_command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.respond(_("Hello, this sentence is in English"))
    # "_()" does the translation

# if you don't want to use `@localize` on every command, simply use the following method after adding the commands to the bot:
i18n.localize_commands()
