  • Should golang create a money library on the exp package?
    2 projects | /r/golang | 25 May 2023
    OP, is this money in the context of storing and counting money, or money in the context of internationalization and localization? For the latter, you probably want bindings to icu or the x/text/currency package.

    Lingva is awesome. Also don't forget to check out LibreTranslate and Apertium. They are open source. Apertium can even translate web pages (you need to enter the URL).
