feature request: Arb format for strings

[joeblew99]

I was wondering if we can support ARB format, so i can use google translate toolkit.

Here is a good summary:
https://github.com/dart-lang/intl#extracting-and-using-translated-messages

Background info:
At the moment i use Dart for frontend and golang for backend.

I clicked through the links and couldn't find an example of what an ARB file looks like or a spec for the ARB format. If you know where these are can you share?

thanks for considering this feature.
I think it is pretty nice wy to share translations between frontend and backend.

I looked around for some examples of ARB.

This is a good example i think.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/examples/stocks/lib/i18n
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/2a81391915a5b223279f117d9143ed483b8482e4/examples/stocks/lib/stock_strings.dart

Also running Dart is very easy. Brew install it and it will do everything, and then "pub get". like "go get".

Hmm, it doesn't look like this format supports plural forms so I don't think it is an appropriate format for what go-i18n does.

If you only want to store your translations in one format, I would either (1) write a script to translate from one to the other, or (2) write Go code to parse ARB files and then use AddTranslation.

make sense. I will do it myself. DO you want a patch ? Its ok if you dont..

Probably not, thanks for offering though.

I am going to go ahead and close this issue.
