🚀 Auto-Translation – i18n in Seconds, Not Hours

I’m Asad Rafi, an 18-year-old MERN stack & creative frontend developer.
I’m passionate about building tools that make developers’ lives easier.

One thing that always frustrated me was i18n setup:

Hours wasted creating folder structures

Manually wrapping every single string

Copy-pasting translations and still missing keys

It was boring, repetitive, and error-prone.

So I built Auto-Translation 💡 — a CLI that makes i18n setup effortless.

⚡ What used to take 3–5 hours, now takes 30 seconds.
🎯 It auto-detects strings, wraps them, and generates a full i18n structure.
📂 Clean, organized, and complete — with zero missed strings.

This is just the beginning. I want to make this the go-to i18n automation tool for developers.

✨ I’d love to connect with other passionate devs who want to contribute, improve, and push this project further.
