Getting started

Installation

There is two variants of installing a package. Either install it for a certain project to dev dependencies or install it globally.

Installing to dev dependencies:

Install using yarn:

yarn add i18n-openai -D

Install using npm:

npm i i18n-openai --save-dev

Create config file (optional)

You can add your custom config by creating i18n-openai.config.json. If no config file would be provided, default config would be used 👇

module.exports = {
    skipLocales: [], // (optional)
    mainLocale: 'en', // (optional)
    pathToLocalesFolders: 'public/locales', // (optional)
    customPrompt:
    'Return content translated to {0}. Keep all sequences /n. Keep all special characters. Do not return any additional information, return only translated text.', // (optional)
}

If config file is provided, but some of the variables from config are not provided, then default values would be used.
