With the development of globalization and the popularization of the Internet, more and more websites and applications are beginning to strive to achieve internationalization and multi-language support functions to meet the needs of different groups of people. In order to realize these functions, developers need to use some advanced technologies and frameworks. In this article, we will introduce how to use the Gin framework to implement internationalization and multi-language support capabilities.

The Gin framework is a lightweight web framework written in Go language. It is efficient, easy to use and flexible, and has become the preferred framework for many developers. In addition, the Gin framework also provides some useful functions and tools, including routing, middleware, parameter validation, request processing and response processing, etc.

Internationalization and multi-language support means that the same website or application can support multiple language versions to better meet the needs of users in different regions and language backgrounds. The following will introduce how to use the Gin framework to implement these functions.

First, we need to prepare multi-language files. In the Gin framework, the i18n package can be used to implement internationalization and multi-language support functions. We can organize the vocabulary of all languages ??in one folder, using different file names for each language version. For example, the file name of the English version is en-US.ini, the file name of the Chinese version is zh-CN.ini, the file name of the Japanese version is ja-JP.ini, etc.

Next, we need to add relevant code in the Gin framework. First, during the initialization phase, we need to load multi-language files. You can add the following code to the main.go file:

import (
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/contrib/i18n"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()

  // 初始化多語言設置
  i18n.SetMessage("en-US", "path/to/en-US.ini")
  i18n.SetMessage("zh-CN", "path/to/zh-CN.ini")
  i18n.SetMessage("ja-JP", "path/to/ja-JP.ini")

  // 添加中間件，用于設置當前語言版本
  r.Use(i18n.Handler())

  // 添加路由和處理函數
  r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
    locale := i18n.Locale(c)
    message := i18n.GetMessage(locale, "hello")
    c.String(200, message)
  })

  r.Run(":8080")
}

In the above code, two packages are first introduced: gin and i18n. Then during the initialization phase, we use the i18n.SetMessage() function to load multi-language files. Here, we loaded the file in three languages: English, Chinese, Japanese. Next, we add multilingual settings to the middleware using the i18n.Handler() function, which automatically detects the current language version on every request. Finally, we get the current language version and the corresponding message in the main handler function, and return the message to the client as a response.

In the above code, we use the GetMessage() function to obtain the message. The implementation is as follows:

func GetMessage(locale, key string) string {
  if messages, ok := Bundles[locale]; ok {
    if message, ok := messages[key]; ok {
      return message
    }
  }
  return key
}

In the GetMessage() function, we first detect whether the current language version is loaded. If it is loaded, try to get the corresponding message. If the message is found, the message is returned; otherwise, the key value itself is returned. The reason for this is so that when we try to get a message that doesn't exist, we can return a default value to ensure that the application works properly.

The following is an example showing how to render a template in a multi-language environment:

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.Use(i18n.Handler())

  // 加載模板文件
  tmpl := template.Must(template.ParseFiles("path/to/template.tmpl"))
  
  // 添加路由和處理函數
  r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
    locale := i18n.Locale(c)
    message := i18n.GetMessage(locale, "hello")
    tmpl.Execute(c.Writer, struct{ Message string }{ Message: message })
  })

  r.Run(":8080")
}

In the above code, we use the Must() function to try to parse the template file. If the parsing fails, the program will exit directly; otherwise, we will bind the added multi-language middleware to the route and call the GetMessage() function in the processing function to obtain the message. Finally, use the Execute() function to render the template, passing the message as a parameter to the template.

In this article, we introduce how to use the Gin framework to implement internationalization and multi-language support functions. We can accomplish these functions by loading multi-language files and using the i18n package. Additionally, we show how to use templates in multiple languages. If your website or application needs to support different language versions, then using the Gin framework is a good choice.
