Configuration Guide

Learn how to configure GoTranslate for your project's specific needs.

Configuration File

After initialization, you'll find a gotranslate.config.json file in your project root:

{
  "apiKey": "your-api-key-here",
  "sourceLanguage": "en",
  "targetLanguages": ["ar", "fr", "es", "de"],
  "translationPath": "./locales",
  "formats": ["json", "yaml"]
}

Configuration Options

• apiKey: Your GoTranslate API key from the dashboard
• sourceLanguage: The base language of your application
• targetLanguages: Array of languages to translate into
• translationPath: Directory where translation files are stored
• formats: Output format (json, yaml, po, etc.)

Environment Variables

For security, you can also use environment variables:

GOTRANSLATE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
GOTRANSLATE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id

Framework-Specific Setup

Laravel

// config/gotranslate.php
return [
    'api_key' => env('GOTRANSLATE_API_KEY'),
    'source_language' => 'en',
    'target_languages' => ['ar', 'fr', 'es'],
];

Next.js

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  i18n: {
    locales: ['en', 'ar', 'fr', 'es'],
    defaultLocale: 'en',
  },
  gotranslate: {
    apiKey: process.env.GOTRANSLATE_API_KEY,
  },
}
