 succ 🎉

      Your plugin has been created in plugins/i18n_plugin

Two tasks to make i18n-plugin work

• [x] i18n-plugin can run on opensearch-dashboards 2.0 and cause no breaking changes on opensearch-dashboards platform
  • https://github.com/opensearch-project/i18n-plugin/issues/2#issuecomment-1119067323
• [ ] i18n-plugin can function well: translate some sample pages using sample translate files

i18n-plugin can be installed and won't break current osd

Sanity test steps (OS 2.0, OSD 2.0):

1. git clone opensearch repo and run

   ./gradlew run -Drun.distribution=oss

   oss is fine for test purpose because i18n-plugin does not require any engine installed

2. git clone opensearch-dashboards, in plugins folder git clone i18n-plugin

3. run yarn osd bootstrap and yarn start to launch opensearch-dashboards

opensearch-dashboards runs normally. no plugin in the draw down menu which is expected because there is no UI plugin.

Check more functionalities by creating dashboards using sample data, checking discover and advanced settings, and working on dev tools. Everything seems work well from manual sanity test.
