I thought this was awesome until you included an LLM into the mix.

I hate the current react i18n solutions, and the fact that they only work in runtime, as opposed to Angular’s build time i18n solution.

If your compiler could plugin to existing localization workflows in large organizations to at would be great (ie: extraction, load from configuration).

Thanks for the perspective!

We support larger org workflows with the Lingo.dev Engine product, but that's not the point: Lingo.dev Compiler is unrelated to that, 100% free and open source.

We started with a thought - what if i18n is actually meant to be build-time, LLM-powered, and that's enough for it to be precise? Not today, but in the future, it feels like this type of solution could elegantly solve i18n at scale, in software, as opposed to the existing sophisticated workflows.

WDYT?

That’s fine for small projects or startups. Once you go into large organizations, where you have an ever changing glossary, and product wants to be in control of the texts in the application, doing it all in prompts and dev changes completely breaks translation workflows.
