Hi @AlecAivazis Does this library consider suport for i18n?

Hi, I'm going to answer for @AlecAivazis to the best of my knowledge.

This library mostly displays text that you supply yourself, such as the wording of the prompts and all the options presented (like for Selects and MultiSelects). You control that text, so you can perform i18n of that text in your app.

However, there are a few prompts where this library renders English text of its own, mostly to clarify keybindings. Example: https://github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/blob/a8912d047bec8f7ed857969e109690f90fdbd977/select.go#L71

This text isn't explicitly configurable, but it comes from a template string which is an exported variable in the survey Go package. You could theoretically override this template string from your app to change that language.

Hope this helps! Good luck 🙇
