Ask HN: Best Way to Translate App?

[mholubowski]

Hey what’s up fam,

Question. What’s the best, most modern solution to add translations to a software project.

For example, I’ve developed a WordPress plugin (PHP + typescript) that’s garnered some customers and now people are asking for translations to xyz languages.

So I’d have to go through all the code, edit all the strings to be Poedit compatible, etc etc.

How do people solve for this? It seems like it will take quite a bit of time.

Thank you!! Xoxo
