What did you do?
I want to store the generated translation files in a specific directory,
so I used the following command
gotext -srclang=en -dir=./Foo update -out=./catalog.go -lang=en,zhWhat did you expect to see?
The following directories should be generated
.
├── Foo
│ ├── en
│ │ └── out.gotext.json
│ └── zh
│ └── out.gotext.json
├── catalog.go
└── translations.goWhat did you see instead?
.
├── catalog.go
├── locales
│ ├── en
│ │ └── out.gotext.json
│ └── zh
│ └── out.gotext.json
└── translations.go
