Project

In order to make your repository compatible with inlang apps, you will need to create an inlang project, which is defined by a directory that emulates a file {name}.inlang. Just like a .pptx file, that under the hood is a directory, that contains project files.

*.inlang directory

This project essentially consists of a folder ([project_name].inlang) that includes a settings.json file and a project_id file. The settings.json file defines the settings for a project and is the entrypoint for all inlang apps, plugins, and tools in the inlang ecosystem.

The project_id is used for anonymous telemetry. We have insights for the monthly active projects, the size of projects, and what plugins are used [July 23, 2023]. We plan to offer opt-out telemtry in the future, and making the telemetry public to align the community with technical decisions we make (based on the telemetry data we have).

Monorepo support

You can have multiple inlang projects in your repository. This is useful in a monorepo setup. If you need a guide to get started, visit the individual pages of the inlang apps.
