To format and print data with localization and internationalization in Go, you can use the golang.org/x/text
package. Follow these steps:
Import the necessary packages:
import (
"golang.org/x/text/message"
"golang.org/x/text/language"
)
Create a formatter for the desired language:
p := message.NewPrinter(language.YourDesiredLanguageTag)
Format and print the data using the created formatter:
p.Printf("Localized string: %s", yourData)
Here's a complete example for formatting and printing a number with localization:
package main
import (
"golang.org/x/text/language"
"golang.org/x/text/message"
)
func main() {
p := message.NewPrinter(language.French)
p.Printf("The price is %.2f %s", 9.99, "EUR")
}
In this example, the number 9.99
will be formatted as 9,99
(French decimal formatting) and the output will be The price is 9,99 EUR
.
You can replace language.French
with any other language tag available in the golang.org/x/text/language
package to get the desired localization.
Make sure to include the required language tags data files to the project using the go get
command, for example:
go get golang.org/x/text/unicode/
go get golang.org/x/text/message/
Refer to the golang.org/x/text
package documentation for more information on how to handle localization and internationalization in Go.
