wings-i18n

wings-i18n is a skill for Claude Code from luisfurquim/wings. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,317 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A guide to adding internationalization to WINGS applications. Internationalization prepares an app to show translated text and format values for different languages and regions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to translate text and supported attributes, handle plurals and gendered wording, format locale-specific values, and switch languages at runtime.
Why use it?
It describes how template text becomes language catalogs and how the application loads translations, avoiding manually maintained translation identifiers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wings-i18n scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Internationalization

The model: author natural text in templates. A build step (gen_i18n) rewrites templates, replacing each translatable string with a stable numeric index and emitting a per-language JSON catalog. At runtime the wi18n package loads the catalog and swaps each index back to the translated string. You never write index numbers by hand.

Enable it

  • Blank-import the runtime: _ "github.com/luisfurquim/wings/wi18n" in main.go. It auto-detects the browser language, loads i18n/<lang>.json, and makes wings.Main() wait for the catalog before rendering.
  • Generate catalogs at build time. The simplest path is the build orchestrator (go run github.com/luisfurquim/wings/cmd/build@latest dev with i18n options, or the repo's gen_i18n); it produces *.i18n.html + i18n/<deflang>.json.
  • Ship i18n/<lang>.json (one per language) in your web root.

What gets translated

  • Text nodes: <h2>Dashboard</h2> → extracted.
  • Translatable attributes only: title, placeholder, alt, aria-label, data-i18n, plus label/helper/error (the w-input text attributes) (wings.TranslatableAttrs). Other attribute text is left alone.
  • NOT dynamic text: {{expression}} output passes through untranslated — so translate the template literals, not the data. If you need a data value localized, format it (see formatting below) or translate it in your data.

Opt a subtree out with the standard HTML translate="no" (inherited by children) — useful for code samples, proper nouns, or literal index demos.

For CSS-generated text use data-i18n="..." + content: attr(data-i18n) so it flows through the same pipeline (don't hardcode user-visible text in CSS).

Plurals & gender (flexion)

A single translated string can't express a target language's plural/gender agreement. Use inline flex sigils inside a {{...}} block (see the syntax table in wings-component):

  • @var — gender axis (the value selects a gender row).
  • %var — count axis (emitted at its position; drives the CLDR plural category).
  • ~word — a stem the translator will inflect.
  • #N — a rule index auto-assigned by gen_i18n; never write it yourself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
