Go JSON translation with Crowdin

go-i18n is one of the most popular internationalization (i18n) libraries for the Go programming language. Crowdin has native support for JSON files produced by go-i18n.

The placeholder syntax can be {{ var }}, {var}, or %[1]d. Crowdin will automatically detect the most widely used variable formats, and highlight and validate them in the editor.
