Internationalization

Fresh supports multiple languages for its user interface. The editor automatically detects your system locale, but you can also set your preferred language manually.

Supported Languages

See the locales/ directory for the full list of supported languages. Each .json file represents a supported locale (e.g., en.json for English, es.json for Spanish, ja.json for Japanese).

Setting Your Language

You can configure your preferred language in ~/.config/fresh/config.json:

{
  "locale": "es"
}

Or use the Settings UI (Edit → Settings...) and navigate to the General section to select your language.

Translating Messages With Counts

A message that states a count ("Saved 1 file", "Saved 3 files") has one entry per plural form, named after its CLDR plural category:

"status.saved_files.one": "Saved %{count} file",
"status.saved_files.other": "Saved %{count} files"

Each locale lists the forms its language uses, plus other: Czech adds few, Russian and Ukrainian add few and many, and Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese need only other.

Plugin Translations

Plugins can provide their own translations. Plugins that support i18n use your configured locale automatically. Translations are stored in .i18n.json files alongside the plugin.
