Sections in YML I18N File?

[AlbinoGeek]

Summary

So, I translated my existing .ini internationalization file into .yml format, but none of the keys registers now.

I have confirmed the .yml file in question is being loaded as an intentional syntax error throws expected errors in iris startup.

Code

app.I18n.DefaultMessageFunc = func(langInput, langMatched, key string, args ...interface{}) string {
	app.Logger().Warnf("user language input: %s: matched as: %s: not found key: %s: args: %v", langInput, langMatched, key, args)
	return key
}

app.I18n.Subdomain = false
if err := app.I18n.Load(
	fmt.Sprintf("%s/%s", Conf.Dir.Locales, Conf.Lang.FileGlob),
	append(
		[]string{Conf.Lang.Default},
		Conf.Lang.Supported...,
	)...); err != nil {
	app.Logger().Error("failed to load languages", "error", err) // syntax error triggers this as expected
}

Error

Sections in yaml are not supported, only .ini has that term ([section]). I am working on a feature that requires the above syntax for pluralization. On yaml the above is a map. Will see what I can do to support that on the upcoming i18n commit. But it's NOT a bug. It's more like a feature request.

OK @AlbinoGeek , I've done that locally. Here is a full example of what the upcoming commit brings:

Vars:
  - minutes:
      # possible values:
      # other
      # zero
      # one
      # two
      # few
      # many
      # "=x"  - where x is a number
      # "<x"
      # format - to customize the format, which defaults to %d .
      one: "minute"
      other: "minutes"
      format: "%d" # defaults to that.
  - dogs:
      one: "dog"
      other: "dogs"
  - houses:
      one: "house"
      other: "houses"
  - gender:
      "=1": "She" # 1 for female
      "=2": "He" # 2 for male

YouLate: "You are %[1]d ${minutes} late."
Classic: "classic"

FreeDay:
  "=3": "You have three days and %[2]d ${minutes} off." # "FreeDay" 3, 15 (plurals + variable pluralization)
  one:  "You have a day off" # "FreeDay", 1
  other: "You have %[1]d free days" # "FreeDay", 5

HeIsHome: "%s is home"
HouseCount: "${gender} (%[2]s) has %[3]d ${houses}"
# Local variables:
# HouseCount:
#    Text: "${gender} has %[2]d ${houses}"
#    Vars:
#     - gender:
#         "=1": "She" # 1 for female
#         "=2": "He" # 2 for male
#     - houses:
#         one: "house"
#         other: "houses"
root:
  user: Account

nav:
  home: Home # nav.home
  user: '{{tr "root.user"}}' # nav.user
  more:
    what: "this" # nav.more.what
    even:
      more: "yes" # nav.more.even.more
      aplural: "You are %[1]d ${minutes} late." # Tr("nav.more.even.aplural", 15)

const (
	female = iota + 1
	male
)

app.Get("/", func(ctx iris.Context) {
	classic := ctx.Tr("Classic")
	oneMin := ctx.Tr("YouLate", 1)
	twoMins := ctx.Tr("YouLate", 2)

	oneDay := ctx.Tr("FreeDay", 1)
	fiveDays := ctx.Tr("FreeDay", 5)

	threeDaysPlusMinutes := ctx.Tr("FreeDay", 3, 15)

	heIsHome := ctx.Tr("HeIsHome", "Peter")
	houseCountFemale := ctx.Tr("HouseCount", female, "Maria", 2)
	houseCountMale := ctx.Tr("HouseCount", male, "Peter", 1)

	yamlSection := ctx.Tr("nav.user") + "\n" + ctx.Tr("nav.more.what") + "\n" + ctx.Tr("nav.more.even.more")
	yamlSectionPlusPlural := ctx.Tr("nav.more.even.aplural", 15)

	ctx.Writef("%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s",
		classic, oneMin, twoMins, oneDay, fiveDays, threeDaysPlusMinutes, heIsHome, houseCountFemale, houseCountMale,
		yamlSection, yamlSectionPlusPlural)
	})

classic
You are 1 minutes late.
You are 2 minutes late.
You have a day off
You have 5 free days
You have three days and 15 minutes off.
Peter is home
She (Maria) has 2 houses
He (Peter) has 1 houses
Account
this
yes
You are 15 minutes late.

Ahh, so categorization of I18N only works in ini currently? Fair.

Yes but don't change your code yet, the commit will be pushed today.
