Inlang Language Server
[!IMPORTANT] This extension is a work in progress and may not be fully functional.
Inlang Language Server brings Inlang and Paraglide message inspection to Zed through LSP:
- inlay hints with the preview translation for message references
- hover tables with all configured locale values
- diagnostics for missing base messages, missing translations, and empty translations
- warning diagnostics for message JSON keys with no references
- code lenses on message JSON keys with workspace reference counts and Zed reference navigation
- an extract-message code action for selected text
The extension discovers project.inlang/settings.json files in the current worktree and reads
JSON message files configured through plugin.inlang.json.pathPattern or
plugin.inlang.messageFormat.pathPattern.
[!NOTE] This project is heavily inspired by opral/sherlock, the VS Code extension for inspecting, previewing, editing, and linting Inlang messages.
The feature set and interaction model intentionally follow Sherlock where Zed's extension and LSP APIs make that possible: inline-style translation previews are implemented as inlay hints, hover context shows locale messages, diagnostics report missing translations, and extract-message support is exposed as a code action.
Supported References
The language server currently detects these common forms:
t("hello_world")
i18next.t("hello_world")
$t("hello_world")
gettext("hello_world")
msg("hello_world")
formatMessage({ id: "hello_world" })
m.hello_world()
m["hello.world"]()
messages.hello_world()
For Paraglide dot calls, Inlang Language Server resolves m.some_key() to either some_key or a dotted
message id whose generated identifier is some_key.
Development
Run the checks:
cargo check
Install the repository as a Zed dev extension from Zed's Extensions view. The extension downloads
and runs the inlang-language-server npm package through Zed's extension API.
Optional Zed settings:
