Change i18n vs-code plugin

[jannesblobel]

Hi thewh1teagle,

I stumbled upon your issue. If you are looking for an alternative, Sherlock can actually do this without any problems. Unfortunately, I can't send you a DM, so I'll just do it here. I will also close the discussion after 24 hours :)

Short disclaimer: I work for Opral, the company behind Inlang.

Hi there,

Thanks for the suggestion!

I gave Sherlock a try, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite match the simplicity and functionality of i18n-ally. Here are a few points I noticed:

1. I prefer not to create project.inLang in the root directory. I would rather keep all configurations within the .vscode/ folder.
2. There's a lack of clear documentation on the website for manual setup; I found information only on GitHub.
3. Despite following the manual setup instructions, I couldn't get it to work.
4. It would be great if Sherlock could work out of the box without requiring additional configuration.
5. While your specific inLang configuration might be useful, supporting projects that don't use the entire inLang setup is crucial. If you could enhance support for such projects, it would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, I don't have the time to test other solutions right now. For the moment, I'm going back to using the i18n-ally extension. However, I'd be happy to give Sherlock another try in a few months if improvements are made.
