#Manual Setup

The recommended way to set up Paraglide is with npx @inlang/paraglide-js init. Should that fail for some reason you can follow this manual setup guide.

Also please open an issue if it fails

#1. Install Dependencies

npm i -D @inlang/paraglide-js

#2. Create an Inlang Project

Create a folder called project.inlang in your root-directory. Inside it, add a settings.json file with the following content:

{
	"$schema": "https://inlang.com/schema/project-settings",
	"sourceLanguageTag": "en",
	"languageTags": ["en", "de", "de-CH"],
	"modules": [
		"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inlang/message-lint-rule-empty-pattern@latest/dist/index.js",
		"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inlang/message-lint-rule-identical-pattern@latest/dist/index.js",
		"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inlang/message-lint-rule-missing-translation@latest/dist/index.js",
		"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inlang/message-lint-rule-without-source@latest/dist/index.js",
		"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inlang/plugin-message-format@latest/dist/index.js"
	],
	"plugin.inlang.messageFormat": {
		"pathPattern": "./messages/{languageTag}.json"
	}
}

Eddit the languageTags and sourceLanguageTag fields to match the languages you want to support.

#3. Add the compile script

In package.json add a script that you will call to recompile.

// package.json
{ 
    "scripts": {
+        "compile": "paraglide-js compile --project ./project.inlang --outdir ./src/paraglide"
    }
}

#4. Add message files for each languages

In your root-directory, create a messages folder. Then add a en.json file to it. This is where your messages live.

// messages/en.json
{
    "$schema": "https://inlang.com/schema/inlang-message-format",
    "greeting": "Hello {name}!"
}

Add a {lang}.json file for each of your languages.
