A working prototype translation system that relies purely on constant variable, package namespace, maps and go generate.
A simple translation system that nicely suitable for practically embedded systems such as docker (IMO) and webassembly.

}It's basically generate go code from toml.
It's will replace backtick ( ` ) with a single quote ( ' ) for values.
There is no field validation, I omitted that for flexibility. Just be extra careful.
