I have an idea

Just ask one of the many translation companies for test date that is for al languages. They would have some for sure.

There are many companies out there to choose from.

Also, you going to want to do some basic integration with there Transaltion companies Or one of the standard translation file formats / schemas, so you can kill two birds with one stone here maybe.

This is something i was working on last week, and i am very keen to get a good workflow and tooling for localisation. So happy to help if i can .

Can you also explain why you want to embed the translation files ? It can be done in golang by using a virtual file system also i think. Here is an advanced one, that may work for you:

The guy that wrote it is very open to feedback too.

Hello @joeblew99 I am very open to any help or suggestions that you could provide 👍

I have been so pressed for time lately...

If you could get the Date & Time, Number and Currency formatting for all language, that would be a huge step forward as that is what I'm missing.

as for a standard translation file format, I convert all data within this lib from CLDR project, which should be pretty standard, the resource generator is here

As for embedding the translation files, I have been doing that with another project for quite some time before creating this library, and has been nothing but a pain during the build process. I see no real benefit in not having the translations inline, and since that's what would happen after using tools like vfsgen why not program the translations inline. I have no problem adding support for loading from files in the future.
