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,zh

What did you expect to see?

The following directories should be generated

.
├── Foo
│   ├── en
│   │   └── out.gotext.json
│   └── zh
│       └── out.gotext.json
├── catalog.go
└── translations.go

What did you see instead?

.
├── catalog.go
├── locales
│   ├── en
│   │   └── out.gotext.json
│   └── zh
│       └── out.gotext.json
└── translations.go
