read translations from string?

[cytec]

I would love to include my translated files with go-bindata thus not providing access to a file but a string/byte pointer of the file content.

Is there a way i can load translations from string or an go-bindata Asset?
see: https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata

Can you describe why you want to do this and/or the advantages of using go-bindata over the current approach of loading a JSON file at runtime?

because i think its simpler to distribute a single binary to the enduser then needing them to have a setup folder structure with JSON Files.

i'm currently useing a "workaround" like this:

transString, _ := Asset("translations/de-DE.all.json")
var transUnmarshal []map[string]interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal(transString, &transUnmarshal)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}
lang := language.MustParse("de-DE")
for _, str := range transUnmarshal {
    trans, _ := translation.NewTranslation(str)
    i18n.AddTranslation(lang[0], trans)
}

I added ParseTranslationFileBytes, which should give you what you want. Reopen if that doesn't work for you.

works perfectly, thanks :)
